During this period, he worked for the publisher W. E. Freitag, contributing to the magazine Simplicissimus, and served as an illustrator for the Schwabinger Bilderbogen and the children's magazine Ping Pong. His diverse body of work included woodcuts for Oskar Maria Graf's book Dorfbanditen. Throughout his life, he participated in the Großen Kunst-Ausstellungen München as a member of the Neuen Gruppe.
