Kokoschka was called \u201cOberwildling\u201d (\u201csupreme savage\u201d). His departure from Secessionist art and hence from Gustav Klimt was radical. Despite this, he found undaunted supporters and customers, such as this unknown treasury official who allowed himself to be painted by Kokoschka in 1910. His head is slightly lowered. His lids are half closed, his gaze evades the viewer. His attention is turned not to his surroundings but to his inner world, to which he seems to be listening. In his portraits Kokoschka was not aiming to recreate a person\u2019s external appearance; he was interested in expression. He made the internal external, attempting to capture the essence of a personality in paint. It was not rare for his customers to refuse to accept their portrait as a result of Kokoschka\u2019s ruthless style. In such an event, the famous Viennese architect and Kokoschka\u2019s mentor, Adolf Loos, acquired the portraits and thus supported the young painter\u2019s livelihood."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Oil on canvas"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":["https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/12756/full"]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"The Treasurer"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Painting"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/12756/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1910"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"12365373"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-8248/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"74 × 59 cm"}}]}
