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.

Kokoschka (Paperback)
Vendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka (18861980) achieved global fame with his intense expressionistic portraits and landscapes. In this first English-language biography, Ruediger Goerner depicts the artist in all his fascinating and contradictory complexity. He traces Kokoschka's path from bete 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, Goerner 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. In this detailed biography, Rudiger Goerner masterfully depicts Kokoschka's multifaceted life and long career.
