Born 1893, Kurt Günther attended the same art school in Dresden as, among others, Otto Dix. In 1917 he was treated for tuberculosis in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, where he met Ludwig Kirchner. In 1928 he had an exhibition in the prestigious Berlin gallery Nierendorf. During the Nazi period, he was forbidden to expose. He survived the war and died in 1955 in East Germany.
