Synopsis
Oskar Kokoschka (1886–1980) was an artist of his time, but he also stood out among his peers – not just because of his towering<br />physical height but for his artistic range: he wrote plays and stories as well as essays on art and politics. Using both brush and pen to<br />work against the tide, he played a major role in shaping European art in the twentieth century. A rebel of the art world, he was used<br />to controversy, and Rüdiger Görner’s accomplished biography weaves the dark, unsettling aspects of Kokoschka’s life among<br />his more celebrated achievements: from the eerie doll he had made in the image of a former lover to the unconventional art<br />school he founded in the aftermath of war. Taking us from his birthplace of Pöchlarn across Europe and to the United Kingdom,<br />where he became a naturalised British citizen in 1947, this first English-language biography does more than show Kokoschka<br />as a maverick artist; it is the definitive interpretation of an extraordinary life.
