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". Kubin's childhood and adolescence was shaped by setbacks and depression - he was dismissed from high school, abandoned his photography apprenticeship, lost his mother at an early age, attempted suicide at her grave and suffered a nervous breakdown after a short stint in the military. These are only some of the blows of fate that characterize his traumatic biography. Kubin found relief by moving to Munich in 1898, where he began to study art. His first visit to the Alte Pinakothek left him "filled with astonishment and ecstasy". He described seeing Max Klinger's etchings as a "cascade of visions of black and white images". As we know from his biographical notes, he subsequently familiarized himself "with the entire graphic oeuvre of Klinger, Goya, de Groux, Rops, Munch, Ensor, Redon and comparable artists". It was from this variety of impressions and artistic positions, but especially from his own empirical and emotional worlds and unbridled imagination, that Kubin created his unparalleled, mysterious-fantastical oeuvre. 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. In this interpretation attempt, the psychoanalyst and psychiatrist August Ruhs will orient himself on works by Kubin selected by curator Hans-Peter Wipplinger with specific thematic emphases in mind. Kubin's works are placed into a dialogue with works by artists of the 19th century and of Classical Modernism from which Kubin derived inspiration for his oeuvre. Kubin's dystopian visualizations, which carry on from Symbolism and the fantastical art of the 19th century and may be considered precursors to French Surrealism, are composed of actual and imaginary reality: an ingenious synthesis, in which the uncanniness of these pessimistic realms is often seasoned with humor, irony and exaggeration.

"Les dessins de Kubin, d'une fascinante étrangeté, sont peuplés de créatures hybrides, grotesques, cauchemardesques ; c'est l'époque - et le territoire - des découvertes de la psychanalyse naissante. Entre symbolisme et expressionnisme, mais plus encore dans la lignée du fantastique (Bosch, Goya, Ensor), Kubin donne l'image d'une humanité soumise et souffrante, à travers les thèmes récurrents du monstre et du difforme. L'exposition du musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris a bénéficié d'importants prêts des galeries de Munich et de Linz, ainsi que de l'Albertina et du Leopold-Museum de Vienne. Avec plus de 150 pièces, la sélection couvre l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de l'artiste, de 1883 à 1958. Le catalogue réunit plusieurs contributions, dont une analyse des relations entre Kubin et Kafka, une étude sur la réception et l'appréhension de Kubin aujourd'hui, et une choronologie comparée à la biographie que l'artiste a le premier transformée en roman d'initiation. Un essai replace également Kubin, illustrateur des nouvelles fantastiques de Balzac ou de E.T.A. Hoffmann, dans la tradition de l'illustration fantastique. "
