I love this painting, so I looked up the artist to learn more about him. Turns out he was really popular with the nazis during WW2. Not sure what to make of that.
Yes, I was aware of that. Unlike many of his contemporaries - some of whom were forced into exile, or worse - he was willing to adjust his style to suit the tastes of the nazi regime. Whether that makes him a nazi sympathiser or just a cynical opportunist, I have no idea. This painting however predates that era and I really like it.
