During World War 1 (1914-18), he was a prisoner of war in Siberia. Subsequently, he exhibited with both Austrian and Russian artists and his work became popular in Vienna, Dresden and Brunn. He was particularly admired for his naturalism and fresh approach to color in his portraits. A genre painter of note, his paintings, which feature children, continue to be favored by collectors.
