	Oskar Kokoschka - AMAM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Painted in Vienna in the spring of 1912, this double portrait is one of a series of innovative portraits in which Kokoschka attempted to express the interior states of his subjects, rather than realistically depict their physical exteriors.
		Kokoschka's early work is dominated by portraits in which the sitters are removed from background, floor space, and descriptive details, and are instead depicted radiating an "aura." This "immaterial field of tension" sometimes detaches itself or retreats from the sitter and constitutes an abstract, yet personal sphere that determines the mood of the image.
		This tension between hands and faces is reinforced by the immateriality of the figures, whose contours are interrupted by or disappear into the surrounding space, and by the agitated surface of the painting where the thinly painted, transparent ground emerges through the heavily impasted opaque brushstrokes.

		Oskar Kokoschka, 1886-1980, an Austrian artist born four years before Van Gogh's death, was extremely long-lived compared to the Dutchman's 37 years.
		As they lie together, both nude to the waist, Kokoschka on his back, Mahler on her side facing him, we see differences in their awareness of the war and their fate.
		The artist is like a haggard insomniac blindly staring with deeply sunken eyes, his body seeming to rot into flaps of separating muscle devoid of covering flesh, hands clenched in agony, fully aware of their danger and the anguish of the world.

	A&A \| Oskar Kokoschka’s <i>The Dreaming Youths</i> : Part 1: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Renowned as an Expressionist painter, the Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) began his career in the decorative arts, studying book illustration, printmaking and typography alongside life drawing at Vienna’s School of Applied Arts between 1904 and 1908.
		It started as a commission for a children’s picture-book, but Kokoschka set aside his brief after the first illustration, adding verses to create a complex ‘picture-poem’ exploring the desires and anxieties of adolescent sexuality.
		Despite its lack of commercial success, however, The Dreaming Youths was one of Kokoschka’s most significant early statements, and the frank, erotic metaphor and personal mythology introduced here would become central to his later artistic productions, both visual and literary.

	ALMA : Oskar Kokoschka
		In 1912 Alma met the young painter Oskar Kokoschka, who was known as the enfant terrible of the Viennese art scene.
		Kokoschka´s mother rushed to her son´s assistance and wrote to Alma: »If you see Oskar again, I´ll shoot you dead!« Kokoschka´s most famous painting, »The Bride of the Wind«, testifies to this anguished time.
		Not surprisingly, the result was disappointing: a clumsy construction of fabric and wood-wool, which Kokoschka had beheaded at a wild, orgiastic party in his atelier in Dresden, in 1919.
