Book Synopsis Oskar Kokoschka, the Painter as Playwright by : Henry I. Schvey
Download or read book Oskar Kokoschka, the Painter as Playwright written by Henry I. Schvey and published by Detroit : Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Austrian painter Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) is primarily known as an exponent of Expressionism in the visual arts, through his paintings and through his graphics. His role in the history of modern German drama has rarely been acknowledged, although he was the author of five plays, written over a period of fifty years. Murderer Hope of Women, The Burning Bush, Job, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Comenius are dramatic visual spectacles on themes recurrent in Kokoschka's paintings and graphic work. Oskar Kokoschka: The Painter as Playwright focuses on the visual elements of the stage works, specifically on the use of color, light, and scenic imagery in their dramatic as well as their symbolic function. It pays close attention to the stylistically and thematically related pictorial works and takes account of Kokoschka's illustrations for each of his plays. This is the first complete critical discussion of Kokoschka's dramas to appear in any language; it is also the first consideration of Kokoschka's work from an interdisciplinary perspective. Included are over fifty photographs, many of them in color. The text is based on much previously unpublished information, the result of the author's many hours of recorded interviews with Kokoschka and his extensive correspondence with Kokoschka's wife, Olda. This study eloquently shows the paintings, graphics, and dramas of Oskar Kokoschka to be one "language of images" and identifies him as one of the foremost innovators of twentieth-century theater, the first German Expressionist dramatist.

Download or read book Kokoschka written by Rüdiger Görner and published by Haus Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka (1886–1980) achieved global fame with his intense expressionistic portraits and landscapes. In this first English-language biography, Rüdiger Görner depicts the artist in all his fascinating and contradictory complexity. He traces Kokoschka’s path from bête noire of the bourgeoisie and “hunger artist” who had to flee the Nazis to a wealthy and cosmopolitan political and critical artist who played a significant role in shaping the European art scene of the twentieth century and whose relevance is undiminished to this day. In Kokoschka: A Life in Art, Görner emphasizes the artist’s versatility. Kokoschka, although best known for his expressionistic portraits and landscapes, was more than a mere visual artist: his achievements as a playwright, essayist, and poet bear witness to a remarkable literary talent. Music, too, played a central role in his work, and a passion for teaching led him to establish in 1953 the School of Seeing, an unconventional art school intended to revive humanist ideals in the horrific aftermath of war. This biography shows brilliantly how all the pieces of Kokoschka’s disparate interests and achievements cohered in the richly creative life of a singular artist.

Book excerpt: The well-known painter, Oskar Kokoschka, also produced a considerable and significant body of literary work: plays, a few poems, essays and autobiographical stories. The present volume contains all his plays ( some in more than one version) and the poems, plus one short prose passage. All the pieces in this collection, apart from the play Comenius, were written in the period 1907-1918. The plays, despite Kokoschka's dislike of the term, reflect the style of Expressionism current in Germany during the period. Indeed, the early ones anticipated and, to as certain extent, helped to define Expressionism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many fictional works have real, historical authors as characters. Great national literary icons like Virgil and Shakespeare have been fictionalized in novels, plays, poems, movies, and operas. This fashion might seem typically postmodern, the reverse side of the contention that the Author is Dead; but this collection of essays shows that the representation of historical authors as characters can boast of a considerable history, and may well constitute a genre in its own right. This volume brings together a collection of articles on appropriations of historical authors, written by experts in a wide range of major Western literatures."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, the centennial of Tennessee Williams’s birth, events were held around the world honoring America’s greatest playwright. There were festivals, conferences, and exhibitions held in places closely associated with Williams’s life and career—New Orleans held major celebrations, as did New York, Key West, and Provincetown. But absolutely nothing was done to celebrate Williams’s life and extraordinary literary and theatrical career in the place that he lived in longest, and called home longer than any other—St. Louis, Missouri. The question of this paradox lies at the heart of this book, an attempt not so much to correct the record about Williams’s well-chronicled dislike of the city, but rather to reveal how the city was absolutely indispensable to his formation and development both as a person and artist. Unlike the prevailing scholarly narrative that suggests that Williams discovered himself artistically and sexually in the deep South and New Orleans, Blue Song reveals that Williams remained emotionally tethered to St. Louis for a host of reasons for the rest of his life.
