Curt Ehrhardt saw the "writing of a spiritual movement" in his pictures (quoted from P. Arlt, Der Maler Curt Ehrhardt, Weimar 2002, p. 79). It comes from the artist himself, he said, as a reflex and part of an overarching spiritual movement, his pictures are essentially based on an anthroposophical approach. He wants to see all three times: present, past and future contained in his drawings.
After visiting an exhibition at the "Sturm", Ehrhardt became convinced that he had to devote himself entirely to modern painting instead of law, and to do so, as he said, "from new intellectual and social perspectives." (quoted from P. Arlt, Der Maler Curt Ehrhardt, Weimar 2002, p. 18).
In 1918 he joined the "Novembergruppe" that had been founded. In addition to the artistic avant-garde of the "Sturm" and the Blue Rider, the artist was influenced by Futurism and, last but not least, Robert Delaunay's Orphism at this time of his artistic climax.Biography from Hauff & Auvermann (CLOSED)
Curt Ehrhardt was inspired by his acquaintance with Herward Walden to artistic creation. He therefore broke off in 1919 his legal studies and presented in the same year in the November Group. Despite defamation during the Nazi period, he continued to paint expressively. Because he was later refused inclusion in the Association of Artists of the GDR, he left the GDR in 1966.
