Paul Kayser

From 1906 to 1939 (interrupted by service in Schleswig during World War I) he taught at the art school operated by Gerda Koppel [de].

Due to the destruction resulting from World War II, he left Hamburg in 1941 to settle in Donaueschingen, on the Swiss border, where he died one year later.

His style was heavily influenced by Albert Marquet, whom he had met in 1909, and reunited with during a trip to Paris in 1933.

His notable works include two large paintings that were created as decorations for the ocean liner SS Imperator.

His works were part of a major exhibition in 2019: Hamburger Schule – Das 19.
