From 1912 to 1915, Georg Ehröich studiet at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna with the teachers Cizek and Strnad. Having come home from World War I he started to draw immediately in order to overcome the horrrors gone through as a soldier. In a nervous, expressive style he dealt with his war time experiences. In 1921 he moved to Munich, then to Berlin, where he soon managed to establish himself in the art world. The German museums showed his works together with famous artists like Barlach, Corinth, Klee and Kokoschka. He held exhibitions at the renumerated gallery Tannhauser and the art dealers Cassirer and Goltz promoted his work. In Vienna he was promoted by the art historians Hans Tietze and Erika Tietze-Conrat. In 1923 he became a member of the progressive Viennese artists association, the "Hagenbund". From 1930 onwards Ehrlich started to tro travel a lot and exhibited intensively on an international level. Throughout his entire life Ehrlich mainly worked as a graphical artist and sculpor, oil paintings are rare in his oeuvre. 1937 became a turning point in his life and he and his wife, Bettina Ehrlich, who also worked as an artist illustrating childrens book, had to go into exile to London. In London they soon found a new cercle of art collectors. Ehrlich´s work was always very well appreciated by museums and collectors and in 1997 he had a one-man-show in the Albertina museum in Vienna. His works can be found in rennommated museums such as the Belvedere Vienna, Kupferstichkabinett München, Graphische Sammlung München, British Museum and Tate Gallery.
