 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Erik Nitsche was born in Lausanne, Switzerland on September 7, 1908, and studied at the Collège Classique of Lausanne and the Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich. Nitsche went to school at Kunstgewerbeschule, a University in Munich. After this, he got a job in Cologne before moving to Paris to pursue his art career. While there, Nitsche combined Bauhaus and rational together, which influenced many of his earlier pieces. To avoid the conflict that was escalating in Europe, he fled to the United States. Prior to immigrating to the United States, he was a designer for Simplicissimus, Jugend, and Der Querschnitt, creating covers and illustrations. He moved to the United States in 1934, where he worked in Hollywood before moving to New York in 1936. In New York, he worked for major magazines including Life, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar as well as advertising and promotional campaigns for Twentieth Century Fox and Universal.
