He trained at the Steinschönau School and studied at the Vienna School of
Decorative Arts (1908-1912). He opened his own studio in 1912 at Steinschönau.
His surfaces were entirely covered with subjects executed by feather pen (tiny
spirals, scales or motifs composed in lambrequins) and his forms were very
distinctive.

smoothly developed its ornamental elements and chromatism.
