Before the Second World War Davringhausen was one of the most important post-expressionists and was among those who paved the way for Magical Realism and the New Objectivity in Germany. In Berlin and Munich in the 1920’s he was seen as one of the most fascinating figures in art, an elegant, charismatic Bohemian, and an innovative pioneer of new pictorial worlds.
The painters George Grosz, Carlo Mense, Anton Räderscheidt, Wieland Herzfelde, Ludwig Meidner and the writer Else Lasker-Schüler were among his closest friends.

Ostracized as painter by the National Socialists, as early as 1933 he emigrated with his Jewish wife and children initially to Mallorca, then to Paris, Ascona, and the south of France where he found a new home in Haut-de-Cagnes after the Second World War.

In 1937 twenty of Davringhausen’s pictures were confiscated from German museums. His painting “Moon through the Window” which was bought in 1922 by the Ruhmeshalle Barmen, hangs among others in the exhibition “Degenerate Art”.

After 1945, undiminished and with immense working discipline, he creates his late work that has evolved consequently from the visual ideas of his earlier creative periods. Shis great work takes an important place in the post-war modern art.
