Franz Kafka not only wrote prose, but he also had a passionate interest in drawing. "You know, I was once a great draftsman," he wrote to his fiancée Felice Bauer in 1913, half ironically, half proudly, regarding his artistic ambitions. Drawing would have once "satisfied him more than anything else".
At the same time, Kafka was wary when others illustrated his books. When it came to creating the cover for his novel The Metamorphosis, he suspected the commissioned illustrator might intend to draw the beetle.
That's precisely what Nicolas Mahler, the "Austrian comic genius" (Denis Scheck), did. He reduced the crawling beetle Gregor, the skinny starving artist, and other Kafka characters to stick figure drawings. Kafka himself, his fiancée Felice, and his friend Max Brod were not left unscathed.
The Komplett Kafka poster exhibition showcases excerpts from the biographical comic written and illustrated by Nicolas Mahler about Kafka's life and work.
