Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980)
June 19, 2006This oil on canvas, called Children Playing, is one of the earliest paintings from Austrian Oskar Kokoschka. Like his other work, this one also courted controversy when it was exhibited in 1909. Children at the time were always depicted as pretty and content. Yet he didn’t want to see just the bright side of things, and would end up refusing all the conventions of his time.
