 Alfred Kubin Summary
Alfred Leopold Isidor Kubin was born on 10 April 1877 in Leitmeritz, Bohemia, to Friedrich Franz Kubin and Johanna Jenny Kletzl Kubin.

He was a precursor of expressionism and surrealism; yet his greatest bequest may be the power of his art to communicate to ordinary men and women the integration of a universe that embraces "the other side" of existence, the invisible, the fantastic, and the grotesque.
