Wynand, born in Elberfeld, first completed his training at the School of Applied Arts in Berlin. From 1900, he briefly studied with Auguste Rodin in Paris.
From 1901, he taught at the School of Applied Arts in Elberfeld. He collaborated on the coat of arms on the exterior wall of the Bochum Council Chamber (destroyed during the war). From around 1903, he produced a number of important designs for Westerwald Pottery, initially primarily for the SP Gerz company, later also for the Reinhold Merkelbach company and others. This activity continued into the 1920s. Four ceramic objects Wynand designed for Reinhold Merkelbach are in the collection of the British Museum.
