Note:
Josef Heu is best known for his sculptural work, working on public commissions and smaller-scale domestic figurations. Heu was an official German war artist during the First World War, the time from which this group of sketches date. However, during World War Two he was forced to flee continental Europe with his family; they ultimately settled in England where Josef continued to make art.
