Synopsis

Irreverent, whimsical and sharply mocking, Kley’s drawings are celebrated for their imaginative approach to satire and accomplished draughtsmanship. Drawing on Skizzenbuch I and II (1909–10), this volume presents 200 images that combine savage humour with finely observed sketching.

Across humans, animals and curious hybrids of the two, the collection showcases a range of fantastic scenes rendered in pen and ink. A focused choice for readers interested in art: general, and for those drawn to satirical cartooning and historical illustration.
