As soon as he became a Lithographer, he visited the
Graphic School and the Arts and Crafts School in Vienna. His
early works are influenced by Schiele and Senkinc´s
friend Otto Rudolf Schatz. Together with Schatz, Max
Zülow, Rudolf Pointner and Karl Wiener he built
up a circle, which tried to live a much more liberal
social attitude - against traditional forms of
marriage. This longings affected his work at that time.
From 1930 he oriented towards Photography - but
he still experimented in drawing and painting.
His rancour on the Naziregime affectet also his work
at that time. After the war he got influenced by the
Surrealist movement. |
