Alfred Leopold Isidor Kubin (1877-1959) was an Austrian printmaker illustrator, Kubin is considered an important representative of symbolism and Expressionism.He is noted for dark, spectral, symbolic fantasies, often assembled into thematic series of drawings. His inventive black-and-white drawings often featured fantastical or morbid elements, and depicted supernatural creatures and sexual violence.
The aquatint technique used by Klinger and Goya influenced the style of his works of this period, which are mainly ink and wash drawings of fantastical, often macabre subjects. Kubin produced a small number of oil paintings in the years between 1902 and 1910, but thereafter his output consisted of pen and ink drawing and lithograph, In 1911, he became associated with the Blaue Reiter group, and exhibited with them in Galerie Der Strum in Berlin in 1913.
He illustrated the works of Edgar Allan Poe, E.T.A. Hoffmann, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, among others. Kubin also illustrated the German fantasy magazine Der Orchideengarten.The best known of Kubin's own books is Die andere Seite (The Other Side) (1909), a fantastic novel set in an oppressive imaginary land.The Other Side has an atmosphere of claustrophobic absurdity reminiscent of the writings of Franz Kafka, who admired Die andere Seite. The illustrations for Die andere Seite were originally intended for The Golem by Gustav Meyrink, but as that book was delayed Kubin instead worked his illustrations into his own novel.
