Otto Meyer-Amden

From 1906 to 1907 Meyer studied at the Art Academy in Munich, during which time he lived with his brother Ernst.

Meyer stayed there until 1928, long after Baumeister and Huber had moved away, living in relative isolation in an old farmhouse.

Between 1915 and 1918 Meyer began making tonally dark graphite drawings, developing a similar technique as Georges Seurat's.

Otto Meyer renamed himself Meyer-Amden after having experienced such a profound connection to the village he'd lived in.

[3] Although he never made a living from his work, he is now remembered as an important predecessor for abstract painting in Switzerland and for his influence on Oskar Schlemmer.
