Plate from The Dreaming Youths Possibly 1907 - 1917

"Plate from The Dreaming Youths" is a woodcut print by Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980), created sometime between 1907 and 1917. The vibrant colors and bold outlines characteristic of Expressionism are evident in this piece, depicting a scene of figures in boats amidst a fantastical landscape. This plate, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, measures 9 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches, showcasing the intricate detail and illustrative style of Kokoschka’s work. The print, likely part of a larger series, demonstrates Kokoschka's early exploration of complex themes and his artistic transition from the turn of the century to the early 20th century.
