Austrian artist and occasional writer (1877–1959), a member of the Blaue Reiter group, best known for his expressionistic illustrations for works by Poe, Dostoevsky, E. T. A. Hoffmann, and others. ALS in German, signed “Kubin,” one page, 5.5 x 8.75, no date. Brief letter, in part (translated): “Some very good orders this time…also Gurlitt is trying to order eagerly from me. I think most of the financial crises is behind us.” The letter is highlighted by a detailed self-portrait sketch on the lower half, showing Kubin trying to escape from the gallerist and publisher Gurlitt. Central vertical and horizontal folds, a noticeable but unobtrusive tear to right edge, and slight show-though from a bit of writing to reverse, otherwise fine condition.
