ART HISTORY Oskar Kokoschka Oskar Kokoschka's Bride of the Wind, of 1914, is one of the rare unabashed celebrations of romantic love in the twentieth century. The artist and his mistress, like Dante's Paolo and Francesca in Blakes's illustration of Circle of the Lustfull, are swept up in a whirlwind above a blue mountain valley before glittering crags illuminated by a crescent moon, lost in their emotion like the ecstatic saints in the depths of an El Greco cloud.
