Love, Death, and the Beyond. The Graphic Series of Max Klinger

Graphic art was the discipline in which the German painter and sculptor Max Klinger (1857—1920), was fully able to unleash his vivid artistic imagination. He filled his loosely composed series of scenes with complex sets of ideas in connection with the fundamental themes of human existence. He drew inspiration from the works of German composers (Schumann, Beethoven, Brahms), and conceived his series of prints as visual forms of musical compositions. The graphic arts cabinet presents a selection from his ensemble Intermezzi (Opus IV, 1881) and the series On Death (Opus XI, 1889).
