An open letter to Dresden and the “Kunstlump” debate
After a bullet damaged Rubens’s “Bathsheba at the Fountain” on 15 March 1920, Kokoschka wrote an open letter to the people of Dresden arguing that the battles of the revolutionary parties should be moved outside the city to protect its art. The Communist artists George Grosz and John Heartfield attacked him in what became known as the “Kunstlump” (“Art Scoundrel”) debate, but many other artists continued to support him.
