Born in Pöchlarn, Austria in 1886, Kokoschka emerged as a central voice in the Viennese avant-garde. His intense, psychologically revealing portraits and expressive style placed him among the leading artists of the German and Austrian expressionist movements *** A staunch critic of fascism, Kokoschka was labeled a degenerate artist by the Nazis in 1937 and forced into exile. He spent time in Prague, England, and Switzerland, ultimately settling in Zurich, where he lived and worked until his death in 1980. His paintings, prints, and writings continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Kokoschkas works are held in major collections including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Tate Modern (London), and the Leopold Museum (Vienna). ***WORLDWIDE DELIVERYis also offered, providing a seamless acquisition process for international buyers *** CONDITION : in very good condition ***
