The article looks at visions - the key problem in Oskar Kokoschka - through the thematic of the conflict of the sexes in order to see the corelation between the artist's figurative and literary works. Using comparative analysis of selected textual and visual examples, the author establishes that Oskar Kokoschka is a multimedial artist. The arts of words and of colours are primarily connected in his dramatic stagings of whole artistic works. His works can also be perceived as autonomous, separate, self-sufficient, specific expressions of the artist's inner perception.
