OSKAR KOKOSCHKA (P?chlarn 1886–1980 Montreux) St. Patrick. 1947–56. Coloured crayon on paper. Dedicated and signed lower right: for Jacks home coming from Oskar. Inscribed upper right: St. Patrick. 32.2 × 25.6 cm. Provenance: - Jack Butler Yeats, received as a present directly from the artist. - Private collection Northern Germany. - Private collection Germany, acquired from the above collection in 2018. The present work comes from the estate of the Irish artist Jack Butler Yeats. Artists friendships, such as those known to us since the early beginnings of the Renaissance, were also a source of productive exchange during the period of Modernism. Against the backdrop of a culture dehumanised by world wars, the two unconventional painters, Oskar Kokoschka and Jack Butler Yeats, were connected by a desire to escape into their own mythological worlds. While Yeats work revolves around the Irish landscape and the absurd world of the circus, Kokoschkas analysis of daily life focuses on the absurdity and ambivalence of a grim era. This artistic narrative, which is unusually relevant from a contemporary perspective, is combined in a very special way in the present work. With a personal dedication, the sheet is an expression of a special friendship that was characterised by artistic appreciation and personal respect.

Das vorliegende Werk stammt aus dem Nachlass des irischen Künstlers Jack Butler Yeats. Künstlerfreundschaften, wie wir sie seit den frühen Anf?ngen der Renaissance kennen, sind auch in der Moderne eine Quelle von produktivem Austausch.**beiden unkonventionellen Maler Oskar Kokoschka und Jack Butler Yeats verbindet vor dem Hintergrund einer entmenschlichten Weltkriegs-Kultur**Flucht in**eigene mythologische Welt. W?hrend Yeats Werk sich um**irische Landschaft und**absurde Welt des Zirkus dreht, konzentriert sich Kokoschka in seiner Alltagsanalyse auf**Absurdit?t und Ambivalenz einer grimmigen Epoche. Dieses malerische Narrativ, das aus zeitgen?ssischer Perspektive von ungewohnter Relevanz ist, verbindet sich im vorliegenden Werk auf ganz besondere Weise. Mit pers?nlicher Widmung versehen, ist das Blatt ein Ausdruck einer besonderen Freundschaft, welche von künstlerischer Wertsch?tzung und pers?nlichem Respekt gekennzeichnet ist. notes:*
