This 1974 hardcover edition of My Life by Oskar Kokoschka, published by Thames and Hudson, presents the powerful and evocative autobiography of one of the most influential figures of 20th-century European art. In this deeply personal memoir, Kokoschka recounts the defining moments of his life and career, offering vivid reflections on his childhood in Vienna, his development as a painter and writer, his passionate love affair with Alma Mahler, and his experiences during the political upheavals of two world wars.
Originally written in German as Mein Leben, the book has been translated into English with great care, retaining the intensity and nuance of Kokoschka’s voice. More than a simple chronology of events, My Life serves as a window into the mind of an artist deeply engaged with the cultural, philosophical, and political forces of his time. Kokoschka writes with the same fervor and expressionism that defines his artwork, blending memory with emotion in a style that is both intimate and expansive.
The volume is generously illustrated with black-and-white photographs and reproductions of Kokoschka’s work, adding a rich visual dimension to his narrative. With approximately 276 pages, this edition is bound in sturdy cloth and retains the original dust jacket, making it not only a fascinating read but also a collectible artifact for admirers of expressionist art, art history enthusiasts, and bibliophiles alike.
