" A mayor figure in the Expressionist movement, Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) studied in Vienna,and early in his career was strongly influenced by Art Nouveau,particularly the elegant style of Gustav Klimt. Around 1909 he painted the first of his Expressionist portraits, which seem to reveal their sitters' emotional life. The restless draftsmanship and broken patterns of colour in these likenesses predict the emergence of the artist's mature style in such paintings as Bride of the Wind of 1914. "
