Alfred Kubin's view on the world of evilThe 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.
