A number of artists take inspiration in Kubin’s work: [[Roland Topor]], [[Arnulf Reiner]], [[Franz Blaas]], [[Joe Coleman]], [[Francis Bacon (painter)|Francis Bacon]] and [[Joel-Peter Witkin]].+''Ortsfriedhof und Aufbahrungshalle:'' In dem um die Pfarrkirche liegenden Ortsfriedhof haben bedeutende Persönlichkeiten ihre letzte Ruhestätte gefunden: Msg.

-== Biography == 
- 
-Kubin was of [[Czech people|Czech]] ancestry, he was born in [[Bohemia]] in the town of [[Leitmeritz]], which was then part of the [[Austro-Hungarian empire]]. From [[1898]] to [[1901]], Kubin studied at the art school [[Schmitt Reutte]] and at the [[Academy of Fine Arts, Munich|Munich Academy]]. He produced a small number of oil paintings in the years between 1902 and 1910, but thereafter his output consisted of [[quill|pen and ink]] [[drawings]], [[watercolor]]s, and [[lithograph]]s.  
- 
-In [[1912]], he became associated with the ''[[Blaue Reiter]]'' group. Although often considered a representative of [[Expressionism]], noted for [[dark]], [[spectral]], [[symbolic]] fantasies (often assembled into thematic series of drawings), his work is [[sui generis]].

-Like [[Oskar Kokoschka]], Kubin had both artistic and literary talent. He illustrated works by [[Edgar Allan Poe]], [[E.T.A. Hoffmann]], [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]] and others. He was also the author of several books, the best known being his [[novel]] ''[[Die Andere Seite]]'' (''[[The Other Side]]'') ([[1909 in literature|1909]]).

-* ''Fantasies in the Boehmerwald'', [[1951 in literature|1951]];  
-* ''Daemons and Night Faces'', [[1959 in literature|1959]] ([[autobiography]]).
