About Two children

The artwork titled “Two Children” was created by Oskar Kokoschka in 1922. This portrait belongs to the Expressionism movement and showcases the artist’s distinctive style and emotional depth.

Observed within the artwork is a poignant portrayal of two children, marked by Kokoschka’s characteristic bold and emotive brushstrokes. One child stands slightly behind the other, extending a protective arm over the younger child who appears contemplative, if somewhat distressed. The background is a blend of abstract, muted tones, contributing to the overall mood and focus on the figures. The artist’s use of vibrant and dark colors juxtaposed against each other evokes a sense of intimacy and tension, embodying the expressive nature of the piece. The brushwork and color palette emphasize a raw, emotional honesty, consistent with the Expressionist movement.
