Kokoschka - Birthday gift for allita2

I had never heard of this artist, so I googled him. very interesting. thanks for the education. 
I"ve never really worked with oil pastels, I'd like to try them sometime. how large is the original?

Thank you very much.
Oil Pastels have a poor reputation as  ARTIST's materials, for some odd reasons.
Many people still think it is just for little children.  LOL
But they have been used by famous artists like Picasso, Delaunay... etc...
It is a very pleasant medium and you should really try them.
It fits your style, and you will enjoy them.  

they seem like they would be messy but flexible, like charcoal, only more colorful. I'll have to try to remember to get some next time I go to Hobby Lobby.

Awesome, thanks a lot for remembering my bday :)
I've heard about him a word or two, but he's somehow forgotten in Hungary, even he lived and created his artworks in the same era of other reputed expressionist artists like István Csók or Károly Ferenczy, just to name a few. 

Yes, you are right.
Strangely he is rather famous outside Hungary while sadly  he has fallen in oblivion in Hungary.
Thanks for your comment and appreciation.  :D

i like the suit and tie colors ^^^^

Thank you very much   :D

Lovely tribute to an expressionist painter, especially with those colours. :)

Thanks a bunch!  :D
