Beyond Realism: Dada and Surrealism National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh

Alfred Kubin: Confessions of a Tortured Soul Leopold Museum, Vienna
The art of this great draftsman, illustrator and author 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".
