In 1930, Wiese married Gertrude Hausen, a realtor, with whom he lived on a farm in Kingwood Township, New Jersey (or Frenchtown). From his farm in Kingwood Township, New Jersey, he worked with German master printmaker Theodore Cuno of Germantown, Pennsylvania, to create some of his lithographs. His first critical success was with the illustrations for Felix Salten's Bambi in 1928. In 1927, Wiese moved to the United States. After his release at the end of the war, Wiese returned briefly to Germany and then moved to Brazil, where he began illustrating. He spent five years as a prisoner, most of them in Australia, where his fascination with the animal life inspired him to start sketching again. At the outbreak of World War I, he was captured by the Japanese, and turned over to the British. Wiese was sent to Hamburg to 'learn about the export trade to China.' From 1909 to 1915, Wiese lived, worked, and traveled in China. Cover illustrated by Kurt Wiese for Jéca Tatuzinho by Monteiro Lobato (1924)
