Carl Einstein (1885 - 1940) was an influential art critic and theorist between the World Wars. His "Negro Sculpture" (1915) was a pioneering work of art theory. It was the first in Europe to recognize the validity of African art and to understand Cubism as a movement. His true aspirations, however, were focused on literature, and he laboured to create something on the level of Bebuquin all his life. "I have to create a lawful but different art", he said, "or I'll fail my purpose in life. I'd only be a journalist, which is tantamount to suicide." Politically engaged and Jewish, both he and his literary reputation fell victim to the Holocaust. Scenes from Carl Einstein's anti-novel "Bebuquin or the Dilettantes of Wonder" (1909) are interwoven with thoughts and situations from the author's life.
