His instructors there included Otto Seitz, Paul Hoecker and Johann Caspar Herterich.

From 1901 to 1915, he taught at the Academy of the Münchner Künstlerinnenverein [de] (women artists' association).

In addition to all of these activities, he provided illustrations for Die Jugend (Youth), a weekly arts magazine.

Ironically, that same year, he was included on the "Gottbegnadeten-Liste" (God given list) of artists who were considered crucial to Nazi culture.

His works may be seen at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, and the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, among others.
