Oskar Kokoschka ['ko: kɔʃkɐ] (born March 1, 1886 in Pöchlarn, Lower Austria; † February 22, 1980 in Montreux, Switzerland) was an Austrian painter, graphic artist and writer of Expressionism and Viennese Modernism.
Oskar Kokoschka was born as the second son of the traveling salesman Gustav Josef Kokoschka (1840–1923) and his wife Maria Romana, née Loidl (1861–1934). The ancestors on his father's side came from a Prague goldsmith family. In 1887 the family moved to Vienna; his older brother Gustav died in the same year. Two years later his sister Bertha Theresia was born (1889–1960), another three years later his younger brother Bohuslav (1892–1976).
