Paul Hey Biography
Paul Hey (1867-1952) was a German illustrator, graphic artist, and painter.
Hey was born to the musician Julius Hey on 19th October 1867 in München, Germany. He lived and worked near Gautig, Germany.
Known for his dark, wooded illustrations of fairy tales, folk songs, historic events, and quaint everyday life, his work was featured in many different commercial contexts such as postcards, book illustrations, and collectible cigarette cards.
His thematic direction is noted for its connection to German Naturalism and Neo-Luddite ethos, forgoing any depiction of Modernity and technology of the era in favor of a nostalgic view of the past.
He died on 14th October 1952.

Let’s have a proper look at something that’s always irked me: the idea that book illustration is somehow a lesser art form than fine art painting.
