Umbo's artistic career was interrupted when the National Socialists seized power and during the war; after 1945 he moved from Berlin to Hanover, where he lived until his death. There he worked as a photographer for the Hannoversche Presse. Our photographs, all of which show paintings by well-known German artists of classical modernism, are from his late work. 4 b/w photographs.
