Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele’s artwork is renowned for its intense expressionism, characterized by distorted figures and bold lines that explore themes of sexuality, mortality, and the human psyche. Known for his raw, honest portrayals, particularly in nudes and self-portraits, Schiele’s work is marked by angular forms and dramatic colors. His influential role in the Viennese avant-garde movement and his groundbreaking approach to expression and form make his art a pivotal reference in modernist and expressionist circles.
