He became acquainted with Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee and instead decided to become an artist. His influences were Alexander Archipenko and Ossip Zadkine. In 1928, he moved to Paris, exhibiting at Galerie Mots et Image. He continued his study of art, traveling throughout Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Werner died in Stockholm in 1983.
