Review
"Weird, creepy spectral symbolist probings into nightmare by a most distinguished Austrian draughtsman." --Brain Sewell, Evening Standard, 15th December 2008
Product Description
Kubin is irrefutably one of the most original talents of his generation. Whether painting directly from his hallucinatory visions or illustrating the works of such literary giants as Balzac, Poe, Dostoevsky, and Gogol, Kubin eschewed the decorative artistry of earlier Austrian art. Instead, he was drawn to life's dark undertones, represented in his work through his morbid subject matter and frenetic style. Filled with horrific yet fully realized imaginings that were eerily prescient of the era to come, this volume is certain to introduce Kubin to a wider audience - perhaps to an entire generation who see in art a way to contend with the upheaval and tribulation of their own time.

Alfred Kubin
15 April 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Alfred Kubin: Drawings, 1897-1909One of the very underestimated artists. This book collects his most importants drawings, which in fact pioneered a majority of later findings in surrealism, romantisizm, symbolism etc. in 20th century. His later things are much less interesting, in my opinion, where he not only changed his style to more "curvy", but also changed the subjects to more moderate. So, this book is really unique in emphasizing his main achevements.
