The Life and Art of Max Kaus
Max Kaus was a German painter, printmaker, graphic artist, and lithographer. Born in Berlin, Germany, his early training took place at the Study Institute of the Decorative Arts Museum in Berlin between 1908 and 1913. During the First World War, he served as a medical orderly and ambulance driver in western Flanders. It was during this time in Ostend that he learned to make lithograph prints, utilizing a printing press constructed from timber recovered from a destroyed railway station. Upon returning to Berlin in 1918, he acquired his own lithography equipment, which became a foundation for much of his subsequent artistic output.
His career saw significant shifts in subject matter and style. While he was widely recognized for his landscape works—drawing inspiration from travels within Germany, Austria, and northern Italy—he also worked extensively on portraiture. His post-war output was characterized by a shift where form began to dominate content. His later creative years included several distinct categories of work:
Academic Influence and Legacy
Beyond his personal practice, Kaus was an influential teacher. He held a professorship teaching landscape art at the Kunstgewerbe- und Handwerkerschule in Berlin, and later served as a professor and head of the department for "Freie Kunst" at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin. He also served as the deputy director at the academy.
Kaus was a member of the German Artists' Association, serving on its executive board and as deputy chair. His surviving works are catalogued and indexed, with his literary estate held at the German National Arts Archive in Nuremberg.
