ABOUT THE ARTIST "Among the most prolific and creative printmakers of his era, the German artist Max Klinger (1857–1920) revived printmaking in his native country at a time when it struggled to overcome industrial connotations. During the closing decades of the nineteenth century, he was celebrated for his use of the graphic arts to explore imaginative subjects related to myth and fantasy. Born into an upper-middle-class family in Leipzig, Klinger began to study drawing at a young age. Although he would maintain accomplished practices in various media—including painting, drawing, and sculpture—Klinger’s reputation rested on his experiments in intaglio printmaking. In particular, he often produced these prints as series (“cycles,” as he termed them) that varied from gritty naturalism to esoteric symbolism in content and would influence a generation of printmakers in Germany and beyond over the ensuing century." —METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
