Oskar Kokoschka Paintings

Oskar Kokoschka (1886 – 1980) was an Austrian artist who became well known for his Expressionist portraits and landscapes. His portraiture is characterized by exaggeration, bold brushwork, and his attempt to capture his sitter’s psychological state of mind. Kokoschka served in World War I and was seriously injured twice. His experiences on the battlefield inspired many of his paintings, poetry, and plays. During the rise of the Nazi regime, Kokoschka’s paintings were labeled as “degenerate” which eventually forced him to flee from Austria to England. He is considered to be one of Vienna’s leading avant-garde artists.
