Alfred Kubin... Der Asket (the ascetic) ...1910
"When I ventured back into the world of the living, I discovered that my
god only held half-sway. In everything, both great and small, he had to
share with an adversary who wanted life. The forces of repulsion and

alternation of the seasons, day and night, black and white - these are

Alfred Kubin....."The Demiurge is a hybrid."
"The world is like a maze to me. I would like to find my way through it, and as a drafstman I should do so. Since I was a child, visions and evocative images have played an essential part in my life; they used to enchant me, and sometimes they made me tremble. I would like to keep a hold on these insubstantial, incomprehensible creatures. But the source of this phenomenon is of little concern to me. An irresistible impulse compels me to draw figures that spring from the shadows of my soul. How to pin down a constantly moving image in a drawing? By practice! Lost in contemplation but active as an artist, I analyze the vision, reconstruct it, and attempt to create a clarified image of my dream."
