Influenced by this environment, Paul Citroen started drawing again and was admitted to the famous Bauhaus school in Weimar, where he was taught by greats from art history such as Paul Klee and Kandinsky.
In 1927, Paul Citroen settles in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, where he initially focuses mainly on photography. In 1933 he co-founded the ?New School of Art? which, however, had to close in 1937. After this, Paul Citroen becomes a teacher at the Art Academy in The Hague until 1960 (with the exception of the war years).
As a teacher at the Hague Art Academy, he is one of the driving forces behind the movement that is now the ?New Hague School? is called. Paul Citroen was best known for his many portraits.
