The Drawings
This is a new unabridged edition of the two sketchbooks by Heinrich Kley, one of the greatest cartoonists and social satirists of modern times. Several of these sketches have been reprinted time and again, and probably everyone has seen at least one. Kley's drawings combine savage humor that cuts to the bone with unbelievably brilliant draughtsmanship.
His frantic, posturing, iconoclastic brainchildren lash mercilessly at bureaucracy, militarism, false Gem tlichkeit, the eccentricities of reformer, the ballast of majesty, and many more But until now the main body of Kley's work has been almost completely unavailable, and it has been impossible to savor the full richness of his mocking irony.First published in Munich in 1909 and 1910, Kley's sketches reflected the growing tensions of the twentieth century and the strong undercurrent of disillusionment that Europe was prey to.
