  The German painter Heinrich Hoerle began as a Rhenish Expressionist, was part of the Cologne Dada and painted in the styles of Constructivism and Surrealism. His main focus was on the horrors of war, the everyday lives of workers and the dehumanization of the masses. was predominantly self-taught; For a short time, he attended the Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Applied Art) in Cologne. In 1913, he joined the avant-garde Gereonsklub (Olga Oppenheimer, Franz M. Jansen and Emmy Worringer) which also showed pictures by August Macke, Franz Marc, Paul Klee and Robert Delaunay. With Otto Freundlich and Max Ernst, Heinrich Hoerle also belonged to the Lunists. During his military service in 1917, Hoerle published his first pictures in Franz Pfemfert's magazines Aktion and Simplicissimus. After the end of the war, Heinrich Hoerle married Angelika Fick, sister of fellow painter Willy Fick. Hoerle maintained contacts with Ret Marut, Hans Schmitz-Wiedenbrück and Franz Wilhelm Seiwert, with whom he remained friends until 1932. He was one of the Cologne Dadaists around Johannes Theodor Baargeld (Alfred Gruenwald), participated in the Dadaist weekly magazine “Der Ventilator” in 1920 and showed his work in the Dadaist space at the autumn exhibition of the Expressionist Society of the Arts. Heinrich Hoerle processed his war experiences in his “cripple portfolio”. While Johannes Theodor Baargeld and Max Ernst oriented themselves towards the rather apolitical French Dada, Heinrich and Angelika Hoerle wanted to have a political impact: The Hoerle couple founded the group Stupid with Antonräderscheidt, Hans Arp, Willy Fick and Franz Wilhelm Seiwert. Hoerle adopted constructivist and New Objectivity elements for his socialist art. Hoerle was friends with the Düsseldorf artists Gottfried Brockmann and Gerd Arntz, who shared his socially critical approaches. The photographer August Sander documented images of Heinrich Hoerle and his work. Hoerle later changed his painting style under the influence of Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst and Juan Gris and painted in a loose surrealist style.
