From 1898 to 1901 , Kubin studied at the art school Schmitt Reutte and at the Munich Academy . In 1906, it acquired the Zwickledt school, where Kubin led a withdrawn life up to his death. He is considered an important representative of Expressionism, and has mostly created Quill Drawing s (partly hand-coloured) and Lithographies of dark, spectral, symbolic forces of expression (often assembled into thematic series of drawings). In 1912 , he became associated with the '' Blaue Reiter '' group. Like Oskar Kokoschka and Albert Paris Gütersloh , Kubin had both artistic and literary talent. His Novel ''Die Andere Seite'' (''The Other Side'') ( 1909 ), and his illustrations of literary works by Edgar Allan Poe , E.T.A. Hoffmann , Fyodor Dostoevsky and others, demonstrate his diverse talents. ''Die Andere Seite'' is an Apocalyptic / Dystopic Fantasy with an atmosphere of Claustrophobic absurdity reminiscent of the later writings of Franz Kafka . His literary works also include:
Kubin was awarded the Great Austrian State Prize in 1951, and the Austrian Decoration for Science and Art in 1957 . REFERENCES
