A Date with Deception by Carolyn Keene
The Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) achieved global fame with his intense expressionistic portraits and landscapes. In this first English-language biography, R diger G rner depicts the artist in all his fascinating and contradictory complexity. He traces Kokoschka's path from b te noire of the bourgeoisie and hunger artist who had to flee the Nazis to a wealthy and cosmopolitan political and critical artist who played a significant role in shaping the European art scene of the twentieth century and whose relevance is undiminished to this day.
In Kokoschka: A Life in Art, G rner emphasizes the artist's versatility. Kokoschka, although best known for his expressionistic portraits and landscapes, was more than a mere visual artist: his achievements as a playwright, essayist, and poet bear witness to a remarkable literary talent. Music, too, played a central role in his work, and a passion for teaching led him to establish in 1953 the School of Seeing, an unconventional art school intended to revive humanist ideals in the horrific aftermath of war. This biography shows brilliantly how all the pieces of Kokoschka's disparate interests and achievements cohered in the richly creative life of a singular artist.
