About Otto Gleichmann
- Otto Gleichmann (20 August 1887, in Mainz – 2 November 1963, in Hannover) was a key figure in German expressionism.
- He produced oil paintings, watercolor paintings, sketches, lithographs and pictures in mixed media. His works from the 1920s and 1930s were characterised by his bad experiences as a soldier (1915) and his injuries (1916) during the First World War - and his belief that the growth of National Socialism was a bad thing.
- He took part in the Hannoversche Sezession from 1918, where he met Kurt Schwitters, among others, and became friends with Theodor Däubler.
- His exhibition was banned, and he was named a degenerate artist in 1938.
