Preliminary drawing for a satirical cartoon `Ja was ist denn das?'

Karl Arnold is an artist. 9 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

These drawings from the 1920s–30s capture everyday scenes with sharp humor and a dash of social edge. Look at *Auslandspropaganda der Franzosen am Rhein* (1923), a cartoon-style jab at post-war tensions, or *Pan Europa in St. Pauli* (1926), where a crowded dance hall teems with Weimar-era energy. Karl Arnold’s pen catches figures mid-gesture, whether baffled, tired, or just trying to get by. Want to see more Weimar wit? Tap into *Ja, was ist denn das?* (c. 1935–39) next.
