Stories in Wilderness – 6 1939 - 1940

Arnold Peter Weisz-Kubínčan's 1939-1940 artwork "Stories in Wilderness – 6" is a striking black and white drawing that portrays a figure in a jungle setting surrounded by crocodiles. The use of hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the dense foliage and the menacing presence of the reptiles. The artist's choice of subject matter, a lone individual confronting danger in the wilderness, suggests themes of isolation, survival, and the power of nature. This work is characteristic of Weisz-Kubínčan's expressive style, which often explored surreal and fantastical imagery.
