Oskar Kokoschka (Austrian, 1886 - 1980) Manner of: Volcano. Oil on masonite, signed lower left, unframed.

Oskar Kokoschka is, together with Richard Gerstl, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, one of the most important artists of turn-of-the-century Vienna. Of these artists, Kokoschka was the only one to acquire a significant international reputation during his lifetime. He spent much of his early career in Germany, and was widely accepted as a "German" Expressionist. More painterly in his approach than Schiele, Kokoschka was a master at assimilating influences: from the Art Nouveau of Klimt to the bold impasto of his German colleagues.
