Franz Wacik art book

Franz Wacik art book / 224-page hardback in jacket, 9 x 12 inches / ISBN 9781735895741

I featured this Austrian artist in 2013 on 50 Watts, so I was glad to see someone made a book collecting his long-buried illustrations.

This new book explores the work of Austrian artist Franz Wacik (1883-1938), whose breathtaking and imaginative illustrations were featured in the satire magazine Die Muskete from 1906 to 1918. His work was so ahead of it's time that you would think these illustrations were drawn in the 1960s or ’70s, rather than over a hundred years ago. The book is filled to the brim with scores of beautiful illustrations.
