Herbert Boeckl—Oskar Kokoschka

Herbert Boeckl, Self-portrait with blue shirt, 1929.

Albertinaplatz 1, 1010 Wien, Austria

Herbert Boeckl and Oskar Kokoschka, two important Austrian Expressionist painters, used drawing as “an autonomous vehicle of artistic expression,” according to the Albertina Modern. In a joint exhibition, 120 works on paper by these two artists show their styles evolving during a time of significant historical and cultural change. They move from nudes to the Expressionist landscapes, watercolors, and still lifes of the interwar period. —Jeanne Malle
