In the life of Oskar Kokoschka
The whole life1919–1924
Professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts
From 1919 Kokoschka was a professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts.
1920
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.
May 1922
The International Congress of Progressive Artists
In May 1922 Kokoschka attended the International Congress of Progressive Artists and signed the founding proclamation of the Union of Progressive International Artists.
