Oskar Theodor Garvens (20 November 1874 – 18 November 1951) was a German sculptor and caricaturist.
Born in Hanover in 1874, [1] and educated at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, [2] Garvens was a supporter of traditional schools of art and mocked cubism in particular. [3] [4]
In 1911, Garvens married Margarete Unger, and they had two children, Klaus (born 1912 in Berlin) and Ursula (born 1914). [5]
As well as publishing work in the influential arts magazine Jugend, [6] during the 1920s Garvens became one of the leading illustrators for the satirical magazine Kladderadatsch, which identified with "militant conservatism" and was an early supporter of the Nazi Party. [7] [8]
Garvens sometimes signed his work with a monogram of a small letter "o" inside a larger capital "G". [6]
He died in Berlin in 1951. [1]
