He was considered as a “degenerate artist” by the nazis and banned from exhibition. Almost all his work from the pre-war periode burnt in 1943 in the Hannover bombing. Nonetheless he continued painting and drawing untill his death.
Their daughter Uta became a graphic designer and photographer and married the designer Peter Gautel.

Gundel Gautel
Gundel Gautel (1910-1987), Hermann Gautel’s wife and mother of their children Peter and Annett, had to abandon her dream to become a lyrical singer, for health reasons. She tried to keep alive her husband’s Bauhaus heritage, waiting for his return — in vain.
