| 1933 |
Born in Berlin in 1887, Ackermann was from 1918 to 1919 a member of Der Blaue Reiter, ('The Blue Rider').
In 1926 he went to Paris, where he became friends with Piet Mondrian and Adolf Loos. Around this time, Vassily Kandinsky "confirmed and encouraged him in his quest for the absolute painting". In 1928 he shared an exhibition in Stuttgart with Kandinsky and George Grosz.
Ackermann was labeled "degenerate" by the new Nazi authorities, and in 1933 he was forbidden from exhibiting. Banned also from teaching in 1936, he continued his abstract work at an artists’ colony by Lake Constance, with Otto Dix, Erich Heckel and Helmuth Macke.
He died in West Germany in 1975.
