1912
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1912 ink by Oskar Kokoschka, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This poster shows a rough, sketchy face in profile, half-lit against a red background. The words "Vortrag" (lecture) and "Kokoschka" are scrawled across the image in bold, uneven letters. At the bottom, there’s a date, a location name, and ticket prices written in messy handwriting. The style looks like it was drawn fast, with thick black lines and smudged areas. It feels urgent, like a flyer for an event. Check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
Oskar Kokoschka was an Austrian artist, poet, playwright and teacher, best known for his intense expressionistic portraits and landscapes, as well as his theories on vision that influenced the Viennese Expressionist movement.
