Beschreibung
A 1908 lithographic poster design by Oskar Kokoschka, featuring expressive, angular figures and bold, flat colour fields.
This work by Oskar Kokoschka, created in 1908, represents an early example of his contribution to the Viennese avant-garde. Produced during the period of the Wiener Werkstätte, the design reflects the stylistic shift away from the decorative linearity of Art Nouveau towards the raw, psychological intensity that would define Expressionism. The composition features a central male figure, rendered with angular, distorted features, flanked by two female figures holding palm-like fronds. The use of flat, bold colour fields and simplified, almost primitive forms creates a sense of immediacy and tension.
Kokoschka was a student at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, and his early graphic work often challenged the established aesthetic norms of the time. The figures are depicted with a deliberate lack of academic proportion, prioritising emotional resonance over naturalistic representation. The inclusion of symbolic elements, such as the candelabra motifs in the upper corners, adds a ritualistic quality to the scene. The colour palette is dominated by earthy browns, contrasted against sharp blues, yellows, and greens, which serves to flatten the pictorial space and push the figures to the foreground.
This specific design was intended for the 1908 Jubilee Procession, an event marking the 60th year of Emperor Franz Joseph I's reign. Despite the celebratory nature of the commission, Kokoschka’s interpretation remains deeply personal and idiosyncratic. His approach to the human form, characterised by thin, nervous lines and expressive gestures, provides a clear indication of his future trajectory as a painter. The work remains a significant document of the early twentieth-century transition in European graphic design, capturing the restless energy of the period.

Artist Biography
Oskar Kokoschka
He was born in 1886 in Pochlarn, Austria. He was shot through the head in Ukraine and bayoneted in the chest in Russia. He survived both.
After the war, he commissioned a Munich dollmaker named Hermine Moos to create a life-size replica of Alma, sending detailed instructions about the feel of her skin and the weight of her body. Moos covered the figure in feathers instead. Kokoschka eventually staged a public execution: he decapitated the doll and smashed a bottle of wine over its head on his lawn. The police arrived the next morning, thinking he had murdered a woman.
The Nazis declared him a degenerate artist. He fled Czechoslovakia for London after the Munich Agreement and became a British citizen in 1947. His Expressionist portraits are among the most psychologically penetrating of the twentieth century: raw, agitated surfaces that seem to expose the sitter's interior state. He lived to ninety-four.
