Andreas Paul Weber

Andreas Paul Weber was a German cartoonist, engraver, and lithographer.

Weber raised the themes of medicine and the environment, but was mainly a political cartoonist, but his relationship with the Fascist regime was very complicated and ambiguous.

For example, in 1937 Weber was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp, but in 1940 he received the state prize for the best politically engaged artists. In the same year, he illustrated the book Soldatengeist (Soldatgeist), with a preface by Himmler himself, which sold a hundred thousand copies. In 1944, in the magazine Action. Die Aktion. Kampfblatt für das neue Europa) published a series of his drawings Leviathan against the Stalinist regime and Bolshevism.

After the war, Weber continued to produce paintings and drawings critical of the bourgeoisie and the avant-garde. Fear, death, madness and destruction remain the protagonists of his works.

During his career he created more than 200 paintings and 1500 illustrations, about 3000 lithographs.
