Suite-Portfolio with 10 facsimile lithographs of the drawings made by the expressionist master to his wife, Olda, between 1935 and 1938.

Print: Graphische Versuchwerkstatte, Salzburg

Published: Galerie Welz, Salzburg, 1956.

Text by the art historian, Werner Hoffmann (two pages).


3 editions of this portfolio were made:

- Edition \"A\", signed and numbered with an extra lithograph signed and numbered by the artist. (50 copies).
- Edition \"B\", signed and numbered without the extra lithography. (150 copies).
- Edition \"C\", facsimile edition of 790 copies without numbering and signing.

Our copy is not numbered in the justification sheet and the edition letter is not indicated (although it seems that it was deleted or corrected), but it is a copy, we think of edition C, signed by Kokoschka. One of the lithographs appears numbered 7/50, which probably is edition A, but without the hand-signed extra lithograph.

Reference and cataloging: Hans M. Wingler and Friedrich Welz, O Kokoschka Der druckgraphische Werk, Verlag Galerie Welz Salzburg, 1975, cat. no.207. Pages. 165-166.

Size of the lithographs: 44 x 33.5 cm. The folder, with linen spine, is not the original in cardboard-parchment.

Beautiful psychological portraits of the Viennese artist accused by the Nazis of \"degenerate\": minimalist strokes always suggestive in the history of continental expressionism.
