1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Kurt Löwengard studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar and was one of the most esteemed members of the Hamburger Sezession. Due to his Jewish faith, he was subjected to increasing repressive measures from 1933 onwards, which pushed him to flee to London in 1939. He died seven months after his arrival, weakened by existential worries, of a serious illness.
In Löwengard's Hamburg period he produced expressive woodcuts and linocuts, especially for expressionist publications such as «Die Rote Erde» and «Das Neue Hamburg».
