Volume 3 of
the series
Kokoschka im Fokus is devoted to Oskar Kokoschka's work as an educator and his intensive engagement with
issues of education and upbringing.
Kokoschka's early work as an art teacher at Eugenie Schwarzwald's private school
in 1911 ended in scandal – the school authorities had him dismissed. His teaching methods were considered too unorthodox and
insufficiently academic. This stands in stark contrast to the international success of his "School of Seeing" ("Schule des
Sehens"), founded in Salzburg in 1953.
Kokoschka's teaching focused on the figurative representation of moving
models. The working methods in his painting class and the tremendous impact of his personality became a formative experience
for many students.
