	Bernard Krigstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Krigstein, (1919–1990) was an American artist and illustrator best known for his groundbreaking work in comic books.
		Krigstein was one of the first comics artists to use panels of different sizes and shapes in order to portray the passage of time, and he also experimented with different art styles to match the emotional content of the stories he illustrated.
		By the early 1960s, Krigstein became frustrated by the artistic compromises that the comics industry at the time demanded.

	Greg Sadowski: B. Krigstein, Volume 1 - Bøger
		Krigstein is renowned as one of the great innovators working within the commercial comics industry: his story about a Nazi commandant, "Master Race," published by the legendary EC Comics, is studied in college courses and considered one of the most fascinating formal experiments in comics.
		Krigstein (1919-1990), classically trained in Fine Art, was a Brooklyn-born painter who was one of the first practitioners who approached comics with the respect, integrity, and psychological depth of a serious artist.
		Bernard Krigstein is most famous as one of the pantheon of extraordinary artists working for EC comics in the Fifties.

	B. KRIGSTEIN COMICS
		KRIGSTEIN COMICS is the companion volume to the award-winning B.
		Krigstein’s name often makes the short list of pioneering comic book artists, but most of his work, with the exception of the stories he did for the legendary EC line of comics, has been unavailable since the original publications.
		Krigstein believed that each comics panel was by itself a work of art; a panel was a single statement, which had to live by itself before it could live together with other panels.

		The book is, in fact, a celebration of the life and work of Bernard Krigstein, and even if you think you know who that is, I guarantee you that by the time you get to the end of the book, you're going to know the man and his work one hell of a lot better.
		Krigstein's comics work is now decades behind us, but his influence is easily seen in both his contemporaries, like Gil Kane, and the generation after that in Frank Miller, and even more recently in Dan Clowes, who most certainly was influenced by Krigstein's design sense and pop aesthetic.
		Krigstein, we get a portrait of an artist who led a brilliant creative existence and created great works of art, but who was never allowed any real freedom in his chosen field to see just how far his skill and imagination could take him.

		The book is probably the one Bernard Krigstein would have wished for himself, but it is not the book he needs: a well-selected anthology culled from the couple of hundred comic-book stories he illustrated, mostly in the nineteen-forties and fifties.
		Krigstein began to vibrate with the inner language of comics, to understand that its essence lay in the "breakdowns," the box-to-box exposition that breaks moments of time down into spatial units.
		Krigstein became ravenous for more panels than the rigidly formatted short scripts permitted; he took to subdividing the pre-lettered art boards to allow more and more—albeit smaller and narrower—boxes on his pages.

	Bernie Krigstein Biography
		But it was Bernard Krigstein who saw the, as yet unrealized, potential of the medium and began to explore the notion of defining time and speed with the comic panels and the spaces between them.
		Krigstein began working in comics in 1943 at the age of 24.
		At EC in the early 1950's, Krigstein worked with Kurtzman and the two geniuses were at complete loggerheads with each other.

		Famed as one of the great innovators in comics history, Krigstein was one of the first cartoonists to consciously experiment with pacing and layout for psychological effect.
		Employing a variety of artistic styles and inking techniques, Krigstein emerges as a restless trendsetter, moving from a loose, sketchy style to a dense horror technique, depending on the story.
		Krigstein is relatively unknown even among comics aficionados, but the masterful work on view here for the first time in a half century should make them and others sit up and notice.

		Though she claimed to be of royal lineage, Muñoz struggled financially and lived with her daughter in the rundown Prince George Hotel on East 28th Street.
		Krigstein shared a studio on nearby East 23rd Street with painter Hal Frater, who had first used Munõz as a model in his weekly painting class.
		Frater and Krigstein occasionally hired her to pose at their studio and would invite a few other artists to help with the cost.

	Gordon Coale Weblog Entry - 07/16/2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Anyone interested in crossing the ever-narrowing divide between High and Low culture ought to contemplate the work and troubled career of Bernard Krigstein (1919-90), a postwar comic-book illustrator who had the privilege and the misfortune of being an Artist with a capital "A" working in an Art Form that considered itself only a Business.
		Krigstein was never associated with a specific character (the most sure ticket to comics success), and he never wrote his own stories (a handicap in a narrative medium).
		What reputation he has rests on a handful of short stories he illustrated in 1954 and 1955 for EC comics (the folks who brought you Tales from the Crypt and Mad), but one of those stories, "Master Race," was an accomplishment of the highest order—a masterpiece.

	Master Race
		Krigstein's "Master Race" was therefore an exceptional undertaking.
		Imagine the effect on Krigstein, Feldstein, and Gaines in the early 1950s as more and more facts were uncovered about the assembly-line murder of millions of Jews.
		Krigstein's piece didn't spare the sensibility and complacency of the postwar reader.

	Sun.Star Cebu - Tabada: Obsession
		Of the cartoonist Bernard Krigstein, another cartoonist, Art Spiegelman, wrote: “his paintings looked back to representational values that were at least fifty years out of date; his comics were visionary and looked ahead at least that far.”
		But Krigstein, interviewed by Spiegelman for The New Yorker, said that what rescued the comics form from being infantile were not images but the empty space between panels: “Look at all that dramatic action that one never gets a chance to see.
		Krigstein experimented with this axiom, fragmenting the image through the panels and turning repetition into comics’ language.

		Even more contentious was the interaction of Krigstein and Al Feldstein, for whom he did most of his EC work.
		These samples and virtually all of Krigstein's EC work are to be found in Russ Cochran's glorious bandw reprint series of boxed hardbound books, many still available from Bud Plant Comic Art.
		After EC, Krigstein continued his exploration of the limits of the medium at Atlas Comics (which would later become Marvel).

	The Austin Chronicle Books: Review - B. Krigstein Volume 1
		The story was "Master Race" by a sometime EC artist who signed his work B. Krigstein, and the name fit the style to an expressionistic "T." The story of a former Nazi death-camp commandant recognized by one of his old charges while riding the subway was all weird angles and staccato, oddly juxtaposed paneling.
		Echoes of Krigstein's heavily stylized artistry is apparent in current comics artists from Adrian Tomine (Optic Nerve) to Art Spiegelman (Maus) and beyond, and the indie-comic boom of the early Nineties might well have looked a whole lot different were it not for that eight-page story.
		(Krigstein's battle for those two extra pages -- comics at the time generally ran to six pages, tops -- is recounted in Sadowski's book.) Virtually unknown outside of the comics medium to this day, Bernard Krigstein finally gets his due in spades, and it looks damn snappy on the coffee table, to boot.

		One of the most notable in the collection is Bernard Krigstein's "Master Race," published in 1955.
		Before the public consciousness had grown accustomed to the horrible images of the Nazis' extermination of millions of Jews, Krigstein's comic story brought it out into broad daylight, not regarding the sensibilities of the post-war reader.
		If ever there was a historic comic story with a significant message, as timely as it was timeless, this is it.
