From 1922 to 1937 Caspar was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. His works were exhibited in the Degenerate Art Exhibition, which was organized in Munich by the Nazis in 1937. Thereafter, his Christianity-inspired paintings and drawings, influenced equally by Impressionism and Expressionism, were removed from German museums and public collections and/or destroyed, and he was forced to retire from his teaching position. That same year (some sources say the year was 1944, after his Munich house was destroyed in a bombing raid), due to Nazi hostility, he settled with his family in Brannenburg, where he is buried.

Karl Caspar was born on March 13th 1879, Friedrichshafen, Germany and died on September 21st 1956, Brannenburg, Germany. He studied at the Art Academy in Stuttgart and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
In 1913 Caspar was a founding member of the artists’ association Münchener Neue Secession. Karl Caspar’s creative field was in painting and drawing with both impressionism and expressionism influence.
