Max Oppenheimer, later known as MOPP, was an Austrian painter and graphic artist.
Oppenheimer was born in Vienna on 1 July 1885. He studied from 1900 to 1903 at the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste in that city studying under Christian Griepenkerl and Siegmund L'Allemand, and then – from 1903 to 1906 – at the Academy of Fine Arts of Prague, where he studied under Franz Thiele.
Along with Egon Schiele, with whom he shared a studio in 1910 and Oskar Kokoschka he was considered as being one of Austria's leading avant-garde artists. His work was influenced by several different movements including expressionism, cubism and futurism. His work was included in 2 art exhibitions in 1908 and 1909 in Vienna co-organised by Gustav Klimt. His first one-man show was held in Munich at the Moderne Galerie in 1910. He was known for his portraits of contemporary cultural figures such as Thomas Mann and Arnold Schoenberg.
