Walter Spies was born September 15, 1895 in Moscow as the son of a German diplomat. He grew up in an intellectual and art-minded environment. As a child he already had a great interest in nature, music, dance and painting. He spoke several languages and started studying in Dresden, at that time the centre for the arts in Europe where, after WW 1, he met artists like Oskar Kokoschka and Otto Dix. He admired the works of Chagall and Paul Klee and discussed music with composers like Paul Hindemith and Arthur Schnabel.
