Kokoschka was born in Pöchlarn. His early career was marked by portraits of Viennese celebrities, painted in a nervously animated style. He served in the Austrian army in World War I and was wounded. At the hospital, the doctors decided that he was mentally unstable. Nevertheless, he continued to develop his career as an artist, traveling across Europe and painting the landscape.  Related Paintings of oskar kokoschka :. | Bebadelsen | Coastal Landscape vg | Early Meadow Landscape (mk42) | The Bean Eater | The Ascent to Calvary |
