            Abstract
            Result of our research is a monographic study dealing with a prominent part of Kokoschka's life and work which has hitherto been regarded too little by scholars. The years of his exile in Prague and particularly in London, where he had to work under a lot of stress and pressure, are the time in which his political allegories came to be. As these works are outside the established canon of art historical development, and as they have no affinity to Surrealism or to Abstract art, scholars have so far spent comparatively less effort to analyse them. This study approaches the group of these works from a transdisciplinary perspective. The authors (G. Sultano is trained historian, P. Werkner art historian) set out from different questions with regard to his oevre and his life. This results in combining the view of a prominent body of Kokoschka's paintings with a biographical perspective set against a political-historical background.
             
            Ergebnis des Forschungsprojekts ist eine monografische Studie über einen bisher von der Kunstgeschichte vernachlässigten Bereich in Leben und Werk Oskar Kokoschkas. Die Jahre seines Exils in Prag und vor allem in London, in denen er unter erschwerten Bedingungen arbeitete und lebte, sind die Entstehungszeit seiner politischen Allegorien. Da diese Werke außerhalb des Kanons der allgemeinen kunstgeschichtlichen Entwicklung liegen, und weder zum Surrealismus noch zur abstrakten Kunst in Affinität stehen, hat die Forschung ihnen bisher vergleichsweise geringe Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Die nun vorliegende Untersuchung nähert sich der Werkgruppe der politischen Allegorien aus interdiziplinärer Perspektive. Die beiden Verfasser - G. Sultano ist Historikerin, P. Werkner Kunsthistoriker - gingen von unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen aus, sodaß als Ergebnis des Projekts sowohl ein zentraler Werkabschnitt des Künstlers beleuchtet wird, wie auch ein biographischer Abschnitt Kokoschkas zeitgeschichtlich aufgefächert wird.
