The Life and Art of Alfred Kubin
Symbolist artist Alfred Kubin reminisces about his extraordinary life, from his troubled youth and mental breakdown to his rebirth as an artist of world renown. Includes numerous drawings by the famed author/artist.
Alfred Kubin
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.
The Verbal and Visual Art of Alfred Kubin
Alfred Kubin (1877-1959) was an artist who fought against innumerable odds to learn his craft and to find his medium and his audience. Although in both his life and his art he often exhibited a capricious disregard for causality and revelled in inconsistencies, his work conveys his determination to interpret, analyse, and illuminate the world as he saw it. He felt that his own being was ravaged by a struggle between the demands of logic and the seduction of imagination. His life ranged between these polarities, and his finest art was created during those moments when he brought the two extremes into balance.

Word and Picture
The relationship between art and literature is closest in the works of the double-talented artist. Relationships on the physical, formal and personal level involve the artist and his tools, aesthetic forms, communication, and private signs and symbols. In its methodology and theoretical positions, this volume should prove indispensable to students of interrelationships in the arts.
