Max Klinger (1857-1920) was a German symbolist painter and sculptor.
His best known work was a series of etchings entitled Paraphrases about the finding of a glove. These pictures were based on images which came to Klinger in dreams after finding a glove at an ice-skating rink.
Klinger is cited by many artists (notably Giorgio de Chirico) as being a major link between the symbolist movement of the 19th century and the start of the metaphysical and surrealist movements of the 20th century.
