Walter Jacob belongs to the second generation of German Expressionists. He  started painting and drawing at an early age. In 1914 he took part in his first group show, at the Bayer & Sohn gallery in Leipzig. Volunteering for national service, he spent the years 1914-18 at the front, with the interruption of a long period of convalescence from a wound in 1915-16. During that time Jacob enrolled as a student at the Dresden Academy and was already in contact with Robert Sterl, whose master class he attended in 1919-20. In his work, he comes to terms with the horrors of his wartime experiences. In 1920 he turned to painting expressively in oils in intense colours, dealing with such subjects as war, the Passion and city life. After the second world war, the artist lived at Hindelang in the Allgäu, working on dramatically stirring scenes, often biblical in content, in which he reflects on the past. He also did some abstract landscapes in a vibrant palette. In 1956 Jacob had his most important retrospective, comprising more than two hundred works, at the Galerie André Maurice in Paris.
