Kokoschka's late style is calmer and brighter than that of his early works, but some critics missed in the late paintings the agitation and surface intensity of his early masterpieces.
Kokoschka's most important painting of this period ("The Tempest"; 1914) shows the artist and Alma Mahler resting together in a huge cockleshell in the midst of a raging sea.
Kokoschka's last paintings are perhaps best characterized by his "Herodotos" (1960-63), a luminously painted picture of the Greek historian inspired by visionary historical figures that appear above his head.

 Oskar Kokoschka - AMAM
Painted in Vienna in the spring of 1912, this double portrait is one of a series of innovative portraits in which Kokoschka attempted to express the interior states of his subjects, rather than realistically depict their physical exteriors.
Born 1 March 1886 at Pöchlarn on the Danube, Kokoschka spent his childhood and youth mainly in Vienna, where he studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Applied Arts) from 1905 to 1909, joined the Wiener Werkstätte, and wrote and illustrated fairy tales, poetry, and theatrical works.
This tension between hands and faces is reinforced by the immateriality of the figures, whose contours are interrupted by or disappear into the surrounding space, and by the agitated surface of the painting where the thinly painted, transparent ground emerges through the heavily impasted opaque brushstrokes.
