Cabaret Singer. Lithograph. 1909

Pechstein’s artistic career was interrupted by World War I, during which he was drafted to serve. The artist returned to work, founding Novembergruppe in 1918 and creating political posters. Pechstein’s surge of work was again challenged by war during World War II. Nazis seized his artwork and forbid him from teaching or painting. Pechstein was reinstated at his teaching post in 1945 after spending years in rural Pomerania. Before his death, Pechstein won numerous awards for his talent and resilience.
