Derweil im Leben von Oskar Kokoschka
Das ganze Leben1915
Gravely wounded in the First World War
Having volunteered as a cavalryman in the Austrian army, Kokoschka was seriously wounded on the Galician front in 1915 and survived captivity, and the doctors at the hospital judged him mentally unstable. Nevertheless he went on working, travelling across Europe and painting landscapes.
1916
Meets Hofmannsthal and Rilke
In 1916 Kokoschka met Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Rainer Maria Rilke.
1917
The play “Job”
Kokoschka drew the impressions of the war into his play “Hiob” (“Job”) of 1917.
c. 1918 – 1919
The Alma doll
Unable to rid himself of painful memories of Alma, Kokoschka commissioned a life-sized female doll from the dollmaker Hermine Moos, later describing it in his book “Fetish” (1925). The doll did not satisfy him, and he destroyed it during a party.
1919
The play “Orpheus and Eurydice”
Ernst Krenek based an opera (1923) on Kokoschka’s play “Orpheus and Eurydice” (1919).
1919–1924
