] He initially studied art from 1884 to 1888 at the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Hugo Crola, Peter Janssen, and Arthur Kampf, then at a private art school in Munich under Friedrich Fehr, and finally at the Académie Julian in Paris under Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant. His artistic activity was multifaceted—in addition to painting and graphic arts, Niemeyer was extremely prolific as a designer of furniture, earthenware and porcelain vessels, decorative elements, and architecture.
