Upon returning home, he provided cartoons for the newspapers København and Politiken,[2] but his paintings were rejected by Den Frie Udstilling and the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition. An attempt to find employment at the Fliegende Blätter was also unsuccessful.
During this time, he illustrated and wrote the text for two works; Omkring Midlet (About the Means) and Dekadent Barbari (Decadent Barbarism), which were published posthumously by his friend, Jens Lund.[1] They consist of mostly satirical stories that have been cited as an influence on the works of Robert Storm Petersen.
In 1903, he was unexpectedly dismissed from Politiken. He had been intensively involved with the creation of a set of books that would summarize his life and philosophy, and was already overworked, so this new setback precipitated a physical and mental breakdown. He was admitted to Copenhagen Municipal Hospital and died there a few days later, of unspecified causes.[1]
A memorial exhibition was held at Den Frie Udstilling in 1904. Asger Jorn was an admirer of his works and many of them may be seen at the Museum Jorn, Silkeborg.[2]
