Alfred Kubin: Drawings 1897-1909 - Alfred Kubin, Annegret Hoberg

Alfred Kubin (1877-1959) created drawings that plumb the depths of the shadow world of the human subconscious, with its unguarded impulses and fears. Though a contemporary of artist Gustav Klimt and designer Josef Hoffmann, Kubin eschewed the decorative impulses found in their work. Instead, he produced dark, hallucinatory visions of violence and eroticism.
