Erich Glas 1897-1973

Glas was born in 1897 in Berlin, Germany under the name Erich Glas. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich and between 1919 to 1920 at the Bauhaus school in Weimar with Lyonel Feininger and Johannes Itten. He joined "The Young Rheinland", an artistic group which was founded by Ulrich Leman. After 1926 Glas worked as an independent graphic artist in Weimar and Berlin. In addition, he taught painting and graphics. At that time his work was influenced by Max Liebermann. In 1934 he left Germany because of the Nazi regime and started living in Kibbutz Yagur in Israel where he changed his first name to Ari.
