Max Oppenheimer (1 July 1885 – 19 May 1954), later known as MOPP, was an Austrian painter and graphic artist.[1]
Life
Oppenheimer was born in Vienna on 1 July 1885. He studied from 1900 to 1903 at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in that city studying under Christian Griepenkerl and Siegmund L'Allemand, and then – from 1903 to 1906 – at the Academy of Fine Arts of Prague, where he studied under Franz Thiele.[1][2][3] Along with Egon Schiele, with whom he shared a studio in 1910 and Oskar Kokoschka he was considered as being one of Austria's leading avant-garde artists.[3][4] His work was influenced by several different movements including expressionism, cubism and futurism.[5] His work was included in 2 art exhibitions in 1908 and 1909 in Vienna co-organised by Gustav Klimt.[3] His first one-man show was held in Munich at the Moderne Galerie in 1910.[6] He was known for his portraits of contemporary cultural figures such as Thomas Mann and Arnold Schoenberg.[7]
