Oskar Kokoschka: Hirsch as an Old Man

From the Vincent van Gogh and Expressionism Exhibition

From Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com

Oskar Kokoschka, Hirsch as an old man, 1907.

Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980), Hirsch as an Old Man, 1907. Oil on canvas, 70 x 62.5 cm. Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz.

Oskar Kokoschka's portraits "are remarkable for their portrayal of the sitter's inner sensibility – or, more realistically, Kokoschka's own."

Kokoschka said in 1912 that when he was working "there is an outpouring of feeling into the image which becomes, as it were, the soul's plastic embodiment."
