The versatile artist Walther Klemm belongs to the 'moderns' who opposed academic rules at the beginning of the 20th century. Educated at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, he started his artistic career in 1903 making woodcuts and lithographs. With this he took part in the exhibitions of the Vienna Secession. After a short period of being part of the artists' colony in Dachau, Germany, he moved to Berlin, where he joined the Berlin Secession. In 1913 he became a graphics teacher at the Weimar School of the Arts. Klemm made many lithographs and woodcuts of animals. He also painted landscapes and some figure scenes.
