Flechtheim appeared in the art world shortly after 1900 with a collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne; French Avant garde early works of Pablo Picasso Georges Braque and André Derain; paintings of Wassily Kandinsky Maurice de Vlaminck Alexej von Jawlensky Gabriele Münter and the Rhein Expressionists Heinrich Campendonk August Macke Heinrich Nauen de and Paul Adolf Seehaus de. Flechtheim opened his first gallery in Düsseldorf in 1913 followed by galleries in Berlin Frankfurt Cologne and Vienna. Flechtheim served in the German Army during World War I but not at the front. His art business collapsed during the war but he re-opened in Düsseldorf in 1919. In 1921 he founded "Der Querschnitt" the Cross Section a cultural magazine. Legendary glamorous parties in Flechtheim's gallery overflowed with the glitterati of the new Berlin: movie stars titans of finance prizefighters and artists of every stripe. As Hitler rose to power in the late 1920s and early 1930s Flechtheim became a bête noire because of the art he espoused and championed. In 1933 Sturmabteilung men broke up an auction of Flechtheim's paintings. The Nazis aryanized Flechtheim's gallery as they would many other Jewish businesses and turned it over to Flechtheim's business manager Alex Vömel. After the war former party member Vömel said he didn't even remember who Flechtheim was. The Nazis seized and sold off Flechtheim's private collection as well as the contents of his gallery. Emigration and Death Six months after the Nazis came to power in 1933 Flechtheim penniless fled to Paris and tried to find work with his former business partner Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Flechtheim subsequently organized exhibits in London of the paintings of exiled German artists. In London Flechtheim slipped on a patch of ice was taken to a hospital punctured his leg on a rusty nail in his hospital bed developed septicemia leading to amputation of his leg and died.
