Alfred Kubin: Confessions of a Tortured Soul

Alfred Kubin: Confessions of a Tortured Soul

The art of the great draftsman, illustrator and author of the novel "The Other Side", Alfred Kubin, appears more current today than ever before: for it was violence, wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters, the manipulation of the masses and other abysses of human existence that pervaded his highly narrational works. The oeuvre of this fantastical creator confronts us with pessimistic visions which – to quote Schopenhauer – delineate “the worst of all possible worlds”. The exhibition at the Leopold Museum is the first to attempt an exploration of Kubin’s oneiric worlds – which all too often enter nightmarish-somber spheres – in terms of their relation to the unconscious and the deep dimensions of the psyche.

Franz Hagenauer

Franz Hagenauer

Franz Hagenauer (1906–1986) created an extensive oeuvre characterized by a tension-filled synthesis of sculpture and refined arts and crafts. Based on the human body and on shapes derived from the flora and fauna, Hagenauer went through all the modes of expression, influenced in phases by Neo-Classicism, the Bauhaus movement, Art Deco and the topoi of popular culture.
