"Die Stunde der Geburt" (English: The Moment of Birth)[1] (c. 1901/02) is an engraving by Alfred Kubin.
[edit]
Interpretation
This print was probably influenced by two significant events in Kubin's life. His mother died when he was 10 and when he was 11 he had a sexual relationship with a heavily pregnant woman. That woman was his step-mother (who was also his mother's sister), she died in childbirth.
