From 1908-14, he studied at The Akademie in Munich. He was a pupil of the important German animal painter, Heinrich Johann von Zügel. He exhibited his first works in 1917. He travelled extensively throughout Italy, France, Spain, and North Africa. He was greatly influenced by the French Impressionists , see for example Degas's paintings of horse racing scenes. He moved to Neustadt in 1930 where he concentrated on landscape painting. In 1943 an air-raid destroyed his studio, consequently his work is rare. The Otto Dill Museum in Neustadt has, on display, approximately 100 oil paintings and 50 drawings and watercolours. 28 x 31 ½ inches 72 x 80 cm.
