The Concert III 1921

Oskar Kokoschka’s 1921 lithograph, “The Concert III”, is a powerful and expressive portrait of a lone individual. The subject’s contemplative pose, resting their chin on their hand, is rendered with striking detail, as Kokoschka uses expressive lines and hatching to capture the emotional depth of the sitter. This artwork exemplifies Kokoschka’s signature style, known for its emotional intensity and dynamic lines, which influenced the Expressionist movement of the early 20th century. The piece is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
