He studied art in Munich and in 1925 he travelled to Italy with the painter H.E. Schnegg. He lived in Florence, but he returned to Germany in 1927. He met the sculptor Ludwig Kasper in Paris in 1928. In 1929 he permanently moved to Italy and settled in Florence. In Florence he befriended Maja Winteler-Einstein and Bernard Berenson. He married the architect Renate Moenckeberg from Hamburg in 1938. They had two children. His daughter Angela married the journalist and author Tiziano Terzani (1938-2004) in 1962.
