  • Biography

    One of the leading artists of caricature* and illustrators of the first half of the 20th century in Germany, Karl Arnold studied drawing in his native Neustadt before entering the Munich Academy of Fine Art* in 1901, where he trained under the artists Karl Raupp, Ludwig Löfftz and Franz von Stuck, and where among his fellow students were Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee.
