    • Synopsis
    • KOKOSCHKA
      Painter, writer, lover, playwright, traveler, and free-thinker, Oskar Kokoschka is a rare being, remained young, lucid and passionate through many trials, his long life. At once classic and modern, his pictorial work remains avant-garde, and his actuality concerns us and warns us in a burning way: his high moral requirement which is cruelly lacking in our time, is an example which it is important to raise awareness. Kokoschka's intimate life mixes with his artistic and social life as a committed citizen. To his life without respite is added his relentless activity as a painter-thinker whose every canvas is a manifesto in favor of freedom and hope, a message of painful beauty and fraternity, a celebration of life.
