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.

«In 1972, I created my first single picture of a glass. Since 1974, at least 50 paintings have been created each year, showing an empty water glass on a white table surface against a white background. The painted glass is in natural size in the picture. The external conditions, such as lighting, distances, picture format remain unchanged. [...]
I chose the glass through the need to do something very simple.
After six years of painting grey surfaces, in which the grey painted surface moved only slightly, for example in the shape of a plate, then by painting light, then by enlarging objects tenfold - all not really simple.
An object that everyone knows seemed simple to me. Simple not in the sense of form, but in the sense of everyday perception, which we do not perceive as unusual at all, which belongs to our use without thinking about it.» Peter Dreher, from: https://www.peter-dreher.de/TagumTag.
