Otto Rodewald

Otto Rodewald is a German painter and graphic designer.

Rodewald studied at the Hamburg State Art School and participated in exhibitions. Rodewald traveled extensively, mostly in Europe and the Middle East; between 1929 and 1931 he lived in the Tunisian artists' village of Sidi Bou Said, where he was captivated by Eastern exoticism. His style can be categorized as magical realism and new objectivity. He also painted portraits in the Neo-Saxon style.

Otto Rodewald later co-founded the art club Die Insel and from 1928, after participating in several exhibitions, became a permanent member of the Hamburg Secession and a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association.

During the National Socialists' campaign against degenerate art in 1933, some of Rodewald's works were banned, but in order to survive, the artist continued to work with Hitler's government, fulfilling their commissions. After the end of World War II, the artist remained active until his death.
