Max Klinger
1857–1920 · 8 works
Max Klinger used print series to move between everyday experience, myth, and unsettling fantasy. A painter and sculptor as well as a printmaker, he gave graphic work a central place in his career. His portfolios often carry opus numbers, borrowing a convention from music, and their individual sheets unfold through variations rather than a single straightforward story. Love, danger, and death recur, sometimes entering an otherwise plausible setting. The contrast between precise description and improbable events makes the images compelling even when their meaning remains deliberately unresolved.
