Atlethic young man in swimwear with his hands on his hips in a self-confident pose. The work of Georg Kolbe and Fritz Klimsch was an important source of inspiration for the artist in the body-emphasising depiction of the swimmer - German sculptor. G. received his training at the Kunstgewerbeschule Dortmund and later studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf as a master student of Karl Janssen and Richard Langer. In 1924 he won first prize in the competition organised by the city of Cologne for a Siegfried monument and worked in Cologne until 1928, then in Dortmund and Düsseldorf.
