(Pöchlarn 1886 – 1980 Montreux)
After studying at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna, Kokoschka moved to Berlin in 1910 and became part of Herward Walden’s Sturm gallery circle. After World War I, he lived alternately in Vienna and Berlin. In 1934, he emigrated via Prague to England and lived mainly in Switzerland after 1945. His work includes numerous portraits in which his unique expressionism is combined with realistic tendencies.
