Death at Work (c. 1923)
Alfred Kubin: Der Tod bei der Arbeit (um 1923)
Tusche, Aquarell auf Papier | India ink, watercolor on paper
From the exhibition ALFRED KUBIN. CONFESSIONS OF A TORTURED SOUL in the Leopold Museum in Vienna
"The art of the great draftsman, illustrator and author of the novel The Other Side, Alfred Kubin, appears more current today than ever before: for it was violence, wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters, the manipulation of the masses and other abysses of human existence that pervaded his highly narrational works. The oeuvre of this fantastical creator confronts us with pessimistic visions which – to quote Schopenhauer – delineate “the worst of all possible worlds”."
