Georg Ehrlich studied from 1912 to 1915 at the Vienna School of Applied Arts under Cizek and Strnad. He processed his war experiences in a nervous, expressive style. In 1921 he moved to Munich, later to Berlin. The graphic collection in Munich showed his work with Barlach, Corinth, Klee and Kokoschka. He exhibited at the Tannhauser Gallery and was signed by Cassirer and Goltz. In Vienna, the art historians Hans Tietze and Erika Tietze-Conrat promoted him. In 1923 Ehrlich joined the Hagenbund. From 1930, travel and international exhibition activity increased due to his rising profile. Ehrlich turned to graphic art and sculpture. In 1937 he went into exile in London. In the same year, six of Ehrlich's prints were confiscated from public collections in Germany as part of the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign. His esteem is evidenced by numerous museum exhibitions, including one at the Albertina in 1997. His works can be found in the oesterreichische Galerie, the Kupferstichkabinett, the Graphische Sammlung Munich, the British Museum and the Tate Gallery, among others. Georg Ehrlich was married to the painter Bettina Bauer-Ehrlich. Ehrlich's main work is a lithographic Bible cycle, in which he worked through his experiences during the First World War, as well as bronze sculptures, portrait and landscape paintings.
