Macbeth, 1914 "Munich artist Fritz Schwimbeck is best known for his dark, psychological pen and ink images from before 1920. Labeled a Malerpoet (Painter poet), Schwimbeck illustrated numerous books with his engrossing narrative prints and graphic drawings. The term Malerpoet was made popular by the German art historian and publisher of the important art periodical Die Kunst für Alle, Dr. Georg Jakob Wolf (1882-1936), who coined the description for artists that created visions of pure, primeval imagination. The Malerpoeten championed black and white images because they believed that a lack of color allowed for just enough distance from reality, moving the viewer to create their own subjective understanding of the picture. German artists drew upon the brooding influence of Albrecht Durer’s prints to create a modern supernatural experience. Schwimbeck’s many notable accomplishments include illustrations for art books and editions of works by Arnold Strindberg, William Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe and E. T. A. Hoffmann." - quote source

He must have had stuff in Der Orchideengarten.
This is grwat stuff. Thank you for finding all of these amazing artists
To be able to depict such a broad range of value with pen is nothing short of incredible. I wonder what types of pen he used?
Billy, probably a Bic Banana.
Wonderful range of images. The light and shadow are especially strong. I'm a fan of Richard Sala and I see similarities in his compositions to those shown here, especially the figures and the last "Untitled" image.
