By Michael Schwalb
Together with his contemporaries Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer, who signed his work MOPP, took the artistic depiction of people into a new dimension: MOPP transformed the bourgeois-representative likeness into a psychological portrait. He also transferred his endeavour to create a new way of depicting people to his music and musician pictures, which, increasingly depersonalised, became the trademark of his synaesthetic work.
