exploring of offsetprint.

Alan Turing, born hundred years ago.

Today, a hundred years ago, Alan Turing was born.
And Google remembers today on their home page
to him.

Without it the Second World War would have much longer

continued! My picture of Alan Turing was published in the

magazine "Folio" of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, based on a

black and white photo. (Al Copyrights by me.)

Charles Gleyre Bio

Otto Kubel 1868 - 1951

The painter and illustrator Otto Kubel was a pupil 

of the Dresden School of Applied Arts, afterwards 

worked as an industrial draftsman in Leipzig, 

and applied arts in Munich. Studied at the 

Munich Academy under W. von Diez and P. Hoecker. OK. 

worked as an illustrator of children's books, fairy tales 

and early writings, and school primers.  

Since 1905 he has appeared often with paintings 

(mostly landscapes and interiors in conjunction 

with images of children) out. Kollektivausstell.  

Feb. / March 1918 and April / May 1920 in the 

admissions. Art exhibition of the Munich art  

association in the Old National Museum.  

I personally like his fairy-
illustrations for the quality of  real "imagery".
The illustrations are well designed
that they should act as a collective images.
And above all they were made for kids!

Mir persönlich gefallen an seinen Märchen-

illustrationen die eigentliche "Bildfindung".

Die Illustrationen sind auch so konzipiert

dass sie als Sammelbilder wirken sollten.

Und vor allem wurden sie für Kinder gemacht!
