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.

«Kopf (head)». Welded Bronze. Monogrammed under the base and dated (19)91.
Very fine and typical work of the sculptor, who was picking out and abstracting the human body as a central theme of his oeuvre. The steadily increasing reduction to the head during his creative period is sign and expression of the spirit controlling the material.
Provenance: studio of the artist; private collection Königswinter.
Exhibition: Gallery Scheffel, Munich, 1991.

«Kopf». Bronze, geschweißt. U. monogr. und (19)91 dat.
Sehr schöne und typische Arbeit des Bildhauers, der in seinen oft großformatigen Werken den menschlichen Körper abstrahiert und thematisiert. Die im Laufe seines Werkes stetig zunehmende Reduktion auf den Kopf ist Zeichen und Ausdruck eines die Materie beherrschenden Geistes.
