A student of the Art Nouveau era who exhibited alongside Gustav Klimt as a fellow member of the
Vienna Secession, Kokoschka was a painter, printmaker and writer who became one of the great
expressionist artists of the 20th century. Kokoschka traveled to Switzerland to help set up this
exhibition held at the gallery of the famed lithographer and stayed for some time in the country
painting. The image on the poster is a more complete version of a lithograph he did that year entitled
“Self-Portrait from two sides as a painter.” “Most of Kokoschka’s self-portraits are melancholy . . . the
years of 1922-1923 were times of great progress in the watercolor medium . . . an end of the Dresden
Expressionism” (German Expressionist Art p. 144). German Expressionist Art 194.
