Kolig was relatively lucky. Many gay men were sent to concentration camps by the Nazis where thousands were murdered. Those who survived the camps were sent to jail by the new German state immediately on their liberation. The Holocaust lasted longer for them than any others.

In art historical terms Kolig can be ranked with Schiele. Whereas Schiele described the female form in superlative terms, Kolig was to respond with some of the finest male nudes of the Expressionist movement

Prior to decriminalisation in the late 20th C people could not be openly gay. However Kolig’s work shows a tender regard for his male sitters, he approaches them as sexual beings, he shows them holding hands & in one destroyed work goes further, leaving no doubts he was gay

In 1944 he was caught up in bombing & many more of his works destroyed. He died in Nötsch in 1950. Rudolf Hradil (1948), Violinist (1949), Sunseekers (1947) & Our Youth (1947)

His portraits are intense psychological studies & commanding in their presence. Hopefully more survive! Fred (1942), the Artist’s Daughter (1943), The Artist’s Children (c1940s) & Homage to Karl Moll (1949)

From 1926-7 he worked on tapestries & mosaics for the Salzburg Festival Hall. Self-portrait (1926), Potiphar’s Wife (1923), Longing (1922), Nude (nd) & Two Nudes (1925)

Only a small number of works of his total output have come down to us. He was reimagining the forms of Classical Greece in the Expressionist context. Klage (1920), Standing Nude (1924), Longing (1922) & Figure (c1922)
