ABSTRACT
though he is undoubtedly one of the major artists of our time, the work of Oskar Kokoschka is not so well known in the United Kingdom and America as it should be. It is true that the Museum of Modern Art in New York has two superb paintings in its permanent collection, and most of the important art galleries in the United States possess one or more examples of his work. In England, the Tate Gallery has a portrait and a landscape, and there is a single example of his work in the National Gallery of Scotland. But in all these places considerably more space is given to artists of considerably less stature.
