His interest in the poetry of Adelbert von Chamisso inspired a set of illustrations based on the romance Peter Schlemihl. During this time, he also painted several murals for the Konigstein Sanatorium, where he was institutionalized. He painted himself smoking a cigarette and having a severed hand in his 1915 Self Portrait as a Soldier, a reminder of how his World War I service traumatized him. A Fauvist-inspired use of color and a penchant for primitivism are reflected both in his Girl under a Japanese Parasol and in the work of his colleagues Fritz Bleyl, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Erich Heckel.
