The Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) achieved world fame
with his intense expressionistic portraits and landscapes. In this
detailed biography, Rudiger Goerner masterfully depicts the
multifaceted artist's life and long career. He traces Kokoschka's
path from being the bugbear of the bourgeoisie and a 'hunger
artist' to becoming a wealthy and cosmopolitan political and
critical artist who went on to shape the European art scene of the
20th century and beyond. The great painter's works as a playwright,
essayist and poet bear witness to his remarkable literary quality.
Music played a central role in his work, and his passion for
teaching led him to establish in 1953 the School of Seeing, an
unconventional art school conceived by Kokoschka as an attempt to
revive humanist ideals in the horrific aftermath of war. The life
and work of Oskar Kokoschka are a reaction against the monochrome
monotony of existence; Goerner's biography portrays the artist in
all his fascinating and contradictory complexity.
