Mannheim, 1938
On the one hand his technical training (he is an industrial expert), on the other a strong and decisive artistic vocation, which led him to study acting and singing (in particular, chanson) and then to write texts for widely represented cabarets, comedies and sketches, as well as humorous books and short stories. But he also became an appreciated illustrator: totally self-taught, he gradually developed a passion for political caricatures and portraits which he signed with his real name until 1976, when he adopted the pseudonym "Bubec", with which he became internationally famous. A curiosity (further confirming his eclecticism): in 1967 he designed one of the most recognized logos in the world, the one for Puma sporting goods. He lives in Nuremberg.
