ALFRED KUBIN

The catalog accompanying the ALBERTINA Museum exhibition presents Alfred Kubin's (1877-1959)
view of the world of evil  the predominant theme of his life and work. For him  one of the most
outstanding draughtsmen of the 20th century  the aesthetics of evil proved to be the antithesis
of the idyll  the deliberate suppression of a hideous reality. Defenseless  he finds himself
confronted with uncanny dream phenomena and a pronounced fear of the feminine  sexuality  night
and being at the mercy of fate. Trapped in his dark visions  evil is inexhaustible for him and
determines his life. Essays by Elisabeth Dutz (ed.)  Natalie Lettner and Brigitte Holzinger
explore Alfred Kubin's graphic cosmos of the sinister  the iconography of evil  his nightmares
and obsessions.   The Austrian draughtsman and graphic artist ALFRED KUBIN was born in
Leitmeritz in Bohemia in 1877. After traumatic childhood experiences in Zell am See and
subsequent mental crises  he began his artistic training in Munich in 1898. He processed his
nightmares and obsessions in a large number of fantastic drawings. In 1906  he married and
bought a property in Zwickledt near Wernstein am Inn  where he lived until his death in 1959.
