Erich Fraaß was born in Glauchau on April 14, 1893, the son of a master weaver, and died in Dresden on January 9, 1974. From 1907, he completed an apprenticeship as a lithographer, from 1910 to 1914 he studied at the School of Applied Arts and the Dresden Art Academy under Oskar Zwintscher, and from 1919 to 1922 he was a master student of Robert Sterl. Study trips took him to Holland, Spain, the Bohemian Forest, and Tyrol; from 1927–1929, he created gouaches of the floodplain landscape and studies in the zoo in Leipzig. In 1931, he was a co-founder and chairman of the Dresden Secession; a large part of his early work was destroyed in the bombing night of February 13, 1945, and from 1947 to 1958, he taught as a lecturer and professor at the Dresden University of Fine Arts.
