Wilhelm Schreuer

His exhibitions with them were largely successful, and he acquired the patronage of Eduard Schulte [de], an art dealer who had galleries in Cologne and Berlin.

In 1913, the Hamburger Kunstverein [de] held an exhibition focusing on the art of various German cities, and Schreuer was chosen to represent Düsseldorf.

In 1934, a major retrospective of his work was held at the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen [de].

Most of his works were created with a distinctive technique, involving diluted colors on a damp surface, applied to glued paper; a method that makes major corrections almost impossible.

Although he painted a wide variety of subjects, scenes from inns, restaurants, dance halls, and various events were obviously his favorites.
