Infamous for his inclusion in the
Nazi’s
Entartete Kunst exhibition
of 1937,
Trillhaase was a wealthy
merchant whose larger-than life legend was immortalised by
his friend, the painter Otto Dix.
Trillhaase’s love of bible and myth
translated into his own late-life
oeuvre of flattened figures and
foreshortened perspectives, more
nuanced than those of his so called naïve peers.
Trillhaase went
on to become a member of
Der
Blaue Reiter artist group.
