This Book has been illustrated by Otto Rudolf Schatz (Wien, 1900 - Wien, 1961). He was a renowned book illustrator, graphic artist and painter. With his works he takes an important place in European art of the first half of the 20th century. The painter, graphic designer, book illustrator and stage designer Otto Rudolf Schatz is regarded as one of the most significant Austrian artists of the ‘Neue Sachlichkeit’ movement. In Wien, Schatz studied with Oskar Strnad and Anton von Kenner at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts. In the 1920s he worked as a freelance artist and illustrator for various publishing houses, mainly using woodcut techniques. In 1925 he was awarded the Grand Austrian State Prize. In subsequent years he became a member of numerous artistic associations, such as the Kunstschau, Hagenbund and Vienna Secession. At the beginning of his artistic career Schatz was still closely associated with Expressionism, before he turned his attention to large-scale canvasses and devoted himself to the Neue Sachlichkeit genre.
