Paul Prött

~ 1880–1945

Paul Prött was a German artist and illustrator born in Hagen, Germany, who became known for his evocative works in painting, etching, and drawing. He studied art in Munich before settling in Cologne (Köln) around 1912, where he spent much of his career as a painter and graphic artist. Prött's mainstream oeuvre primarily featured cityscapes, landscapes, and symbolic scenes, including views of Cologne and etchings inspired by his experiences during World War I in Macedonia, where he served as a soldier and produced drawings of locales like Babuna Pass, Skopje, and Prilep. These were later converted into etchings and auctioned in 1926. Personal tragedies marked his life; his wife passed away before the war, and he reportedly relocated to Berlin with his stepdaughter in the 1920s.

He was a successful commercial designer in the '20s and '30s in Berlin, obsessed by self-discipline (strong leather corsets, steel bandages, chastity, and dilation tools).
The pics were not a fantasy for him, he lived them and he did his jobs best attired in his tools and fixated at his drawing board. The permanent thrill without solution gave him his very creative ideas. He died in Muehlheim (Germany) in 1961.

Beyond his well-known landscapes, Paul Prött holds a special place among collectors for his daring erotic and femdom illustrations. Working in the free-spirited Weimar era of the 1920s and 1930s, he crafted provocative scenes of dominant women wielding control, often with hints of bondage, torment, and watchful male figures, imagery that fits seamlessly into vintage femdom art.
His work, rendered in detailed watercolor, ink, and etchings, mixes a symbolist flair with a refined yet intense edge. These pieces, often published in underground magazines or under pseudonyms due to the era’s censorship, showcase commanding women with a gleeful, almost wicked energy, foreshadowing later BDSM art. Today, Prött’s hidden gems remain a treasure for those drawn to early 20th-century fetish erotica.

Prött passed away in Cologne in 1945, leaving a dual legacy: respected for his topographical prints (which fetch prices at auction today) and revered in fetish art communities for his daring explorations of desire and submission. For enthusiasts of vintage femdom, his pieces offer a tantalizing glimpse into early 20th-century taboo-breaking creativity.

Some of the colored art in these albums look very much the same as watercolors from Paul Kamm. There is also a resemblance to discover with crossdressing art stored in the anonymous crossdressing gallery.
