A member of the Vienna school of Fantastic Art, Stefan Eggeler (1894-1969) is best known as a printmaker, publishing portfolios and creating book illustrations from about the start of WWI through the 30s, his work output declining with the rise of Fascism. His diminutive etchings, often issued in series, show inspiration from James Ensor and Egon Schiele among others.

 

Many thanks to Michael T. Ricker who has contributed enormously to this celebration of the artist's work.
