About the work
In 1945, Kokoschka paid to have a thousand smaller copies of this poster printed and put up in the London Underground to alert passengers to the suffering of children. “I was a kind of ‘one-man underground movement,’” the artist later remarked in his autobiography. [Barbara Herzog, 2018]
Von seiner Lithografie Christus hilft den hungernden Kindern ließ Kokoschka an Weihnachten 1945 auf eigene Kosten 1000 verkleinerte Plakate herstellen und in der Londoner U-Bahn affichieren, um auf das Leiden der Kinder aufmerksam zu machen. „Ich war eine Art ‚one man underground movement‘“, bemerkte der Künstler dazu in seiner Autobiografie.
