Oskar Laske was an Austrian painter, graphic artist, book illustrator and architect of the 20th century, especially of the interwar period who hailed from Bucovina. He studied architecture at the Academy under Otto Wagner. Apart from a course in landscape painting with Anton Hlavacek, he was a self-taught painter. From 1905, he was a member of the Jungbund, from 1907 a member of the Hagenbund, from 1924 in the Vienna Secession, and from 1928 in the Künstlerhaus. Study trips took him through Europe and to North America. His early landscapes and cityscapes showed influences of mood impressionism. Laske created biblical, historical and genre scenes, with a preference for narrative and multi-figure representations. Imaginative, detailed and humorous with an expressive yet sensitive use of colour. Osar Laske was the brother of the painter Elizabeth Kesselbauer-Laske.
