Karel Trinkewitz

Karel Trinkewitz was a German-Czech artist, cartoonist and writer.

Karel's family was persecuted in the 1930s and 40s in Bohemia and Germany due to racial persecution, and as a half-Jew it was difficult for him to get an education at all. After World War II, Karel Trinkewitz worked in the Czech Republic for ten years as a writer, graphic artist and cartoonist, and from 1961 also as an editor of various cultural magazines. Shortly after August 21, 1968, as an active participant in the Prague Spring, he lost his job and eventually, after political unrest and relocations, had to move permanently to Germany.

In painting Trinkewitz was fascinated by the work of Salvador Dali, he also practiced calligraphic drawing and collage. In general, collage is a typical and basic creative expression for him.
