Career and artistic style
Career and artistic style
Krause's career was marked by his active involvement with the Vienna Secession, an influential art movement, from 1914 to 1937. Later, he became an Honorary Member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus. His artistic oeuvre includes landscapes that hint at Austrian Impressionism and French landscape paintings from the 19th century, which are considered his most enduring works. His later floral pieces are noted for their spiritual and material form of light, often showing the influence of New Objectivity. As he aged, Krause began to lose his eyesight, which is reflected in the mood and style of his later self-portraits.
