Alfred Kubin, Drawings 1897-1909
Neue Galerie and Prestel, 2008. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Neue Galerie and Prestel, 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. First Edition. 11.25 x 9.25 inches. 230 pages. 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. Edited by Annegret Hoberg with contributions by Klaus Albrecht Schroder, Peter Assmann, Andreas Geyer, Werner Hofmann, and Olaf Peters.
