Abstract
This article examines the connexion between literature and art based on the example of the works of the writer Radek Knapp and the artist Alfred Kubin. Radek Knapp, the Austrian writer of Polish descent, is known as an author of optimistic and funny novels. Alfred Kubin, author of the novel The Other Side, was very appreciated for his illustrations during his lifetime. Many of his drawings are clothed in dark shadow and they are in contrast to the optimistic prose by Knapp. The idea to illustrate the 41 prints by Alfred Kubin with words was born in the Leopold Museum in Vienna. The short story by Radek Knapp, Die Stunde der Geburt / The Hour of Birth (2017) is, on the one hand, an artistic dialogue between writer and painter, and on the other, it becomes an universal story about searching for the meaning in life.
