Oskar Kokoschka
Kokoschka was born in P^chlarn, a Danube town, on March 1, 1886. He
studied at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts from 1905 to 1908. As
an early exponent of the avant-garde expressionist movement, he began
to paint psychologically penetrating portraits of Viennese physicians,
architects, and artists. Among these works are Hans Tietze and Erica
Tietze-Conrat (1909, Museum of Modern Art, New York City), August Forel
(1910, Mannheim Art Gallery, Germany), and Self-Portrait (1913, Museum
of Modern Art).
