Emil Orlik was an Austrian-German artist who produced a collection of prints, woodcuts, etchings, and paintings depicting German and Eastern European social life. As a young man, Orlik developed a relationship with the Bohemian German art scene in Prague, members of which included avant-garde figures like Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke. Following his passion for art, Orlik relocated to Munich in the 1890s, meeting fellow artist Paul Klee at the Menirch Knirr in Munich. Throughout the rest of his career, Orlik traveled extensively throughout Europe and Japan, gaining notoriety and acclaim for his woodcut printmaking. He taught at universities in Germany, including the Berlin College of Arts and Crafts, and the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin. Born on July 21, 1870 in Prague, Czech Republic, Orlik died on September 28, 1932 in Berlin, Germany.
