Wanderer in the Storm 1914

Oskar Kokoschka's "Wanderer in the Storm" from 1914 depicts a solitary figure, possibly a self-portrait, amidst a swirling, turbulent sky. The figure, drawn in charcoal and marked by expressive lines, appears to be struggling against the elements, conveying a sense of isolation and vulnerability. The artwork reflects Kokoschka's expressionist style, known for its emotional intensity and dynamic brushwork. It can be viewed as a representation of the artist's own personal struggles during a time of great turmoil, with the stormy sky mirroring the social and political upheaval of pre-World War I Europe. This lithograph is held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
