Walter Marcuse

Walter Marcuse was a German painter of Jewish descent and graphic artist who also worked in the United States.

Walter Marcuse studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, illustrated the Bavarian Decameron and painted landscapes. In 1933, the Nazi authorities in Germany banned him from working, and in 1940 he was forced to flee to the United States, where he successfully worked and painted landscapes. Arriving in his homeland in 1951, he exhibited his work at the Schöninger Gallery in Munich, but later returned to the United States.

Walter Marcuse is a representative of the so-called "lost generation".
