Hartig participated with great success in the Great Berlin Art Exhibitions, where the Prussian state acquired his painting 'Odertal' for the National Gallery as early as 1901, which was later lost in the war. In 1902, Hartig followed his teacher Bracht to Dresden, where he completed his studies in 1906 before returning to Berlin.
