Eminent Austrian modernist painter, graphic artist and writer whose work was defamed as "degenerate" under Nazi dictatorship. "To my students I always keep in mind that neither dogmas nor theories belong to the essence of visual art. Visual art is to be understood primarily as the expression of an experience, how it shockingly tears man out of his ordinariness, jumps at him, and lifts him into a spiritual plane." (Quote: Oskar Kokoschka, as seen on www.deutschlandfunk.de: Oskar Kokoschka. Painter of Expressionism).
