In 2019, the Max Brod Archive was opened in the National Library of Israel. Among the striking archival documents were hitherto unknown drawings made by Franz Kafka in the years 1901-1906. Even before the development of his literary talent, he signed on to express himself artistically. He wrote to his fiancée Felice Bauer in 1913: “You know, I was once a great draftsman, but then I took school drawing lessons with a bad painter and I wasted all my talent. Imagine that! […] In those drawings I found more satisfaction at the time, years ago now than in any other occupation.’
In Franz Kafka. The drawings are for the first time brought together in a luxury art edition of more than 200 drawings, 140 of which have never been published before. It has been compiled and includes accompanying essays and a justification by Andreas Kilcher, Pavel Schmidt and Judith Butler. IN DUTCH!
