>> bio 11: Commemorative Coin For Elsa Brandstömbio11.html

In 1919, Walter continues his studies at the (now) ‚Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste’. 1920 marks a breakthrough in his artistical career. The academy, whose president now is the painter Max Liebermann, awards him with a Meisteratelier (participant in a master class) the head of studio being Professor Karl Ludwig Manzel. The same year, he receives the ‚Dr.-Paul-Schultze-Preis für Bildhauerei’ from the ‚Akademie der Künste’. The award of the ‚Rome-Preis’ follows in 1923, whereas, due to the dramatic devaluation in currency – the hyperinflation of 1923 – the prize remains but an honorary award; Walter never did go to Rome. The Rome-Prize, meant to serve and facilitate studies in Rome was awarded once a year as ‚Großer Staatspreis der Preußischen Akademie der Künste’ to painters, sculptors and architects after they had excelled in a competition. Today the ‘Rome-Preis’ grants a fellowship at the ‚German Academy Rome Villa Massimo’, entitling the recipient to a period of residency for the purpose of his or her studies.
