« L'art ne peut pas être moderne, l'art est éternel. » Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele’s work is so distinctive that it resists categorisation. Admitted to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts at just sixteen, he was an extraordinarily precocious artist, whose consummate skill in the manipulation of line, above all, lent a taut expressivity to all his work. Profoundly convinced of his own significance as an artist, Schiele achieved more in his abruptly curtailed youth than many other artists achieved in a full lifetime. His roots were in the Jugendstil of the Viennes...

Pornografisch, unsittlich, amoralisch und letztendlich sogar „entartet“ wurde die Kunst des Egon Schiele genannt. Lange Zeit verkannt und verunglimpft, hat der geniale, von Selbstobsession getriebene Künstler dennoch unbeirrt seine künstlerische Suche nach der Essenz der weiblichen Sexualität und nach einer neuen, ausgeglichenen Selbstwahrnehmung fortgesetzt; eine Suche, die in einer Vielzahl von Selbstporträts und Aktzeichnungen zum Ausdruck gebracht wurde. Dieser Band bemüht sich darum, ...

Egon Schiele (Tulln, 1890 – Vienne,1918) L’oeuvre d’Egon Schiele est tellement singulière qu’elle résiste à toute catégorisation. Admis à l’Académie des Beaux-Arts de Vienne dès l’âge de seize ans, ce fut un artiste extraordinairement précoce, dont le talent consommé pour le maniement de la ligne, plus que tout autre chose, conférait une tension expressive à toute son oeuvre. Profondément convaincu de sa propre importance en tant qu’artiste, Schiele réalisa plus de choses dans sa jeunesse,...

Egon Schiele werd geboren in Tulln op 12 juni 1890 en stierf in Wenen op 31 oktober 1918. Hij was een Oostenrijks expressionistisch kunstschilder. Zowel zijn grootvader als zijn vader werkten bij de spoorwegen. Een loopbaan bij de spoorwegen had voor de hand gelegen, maar Schiele ging tegen de oorspronkelijke wens van zijn moeder en zijn voogd naar de kunstacademie, waar hij overigens matige resultaten behaalde. De werken van Egon Schiele zijn expressionistisch en behoren tot de schilderst...

Egon Schiele is considered by many to be the greatest draftsman of the 20th century. The undeniable fact, however. that a considerable share of his work is of an explicitly erotic nature has blinded many people to his remarkable ability, so much so that he is primarily known as an Austrian Expressionist artist of the erotic. Schieles full artistic flowering lasted only a little over 10 years. He was cut down at the cruelly early age of 28, just as he was about to truly embrace his talent a...

With his signature graphic style, embrace of figural distortion, and bold defiance of conventional norms of beauty, Egon Schiele was one of the leading figures of Austrian Expressionism. He was an Austrian painter, a protégé of Gustav Klimt and important figurative painter of the early 20th century.

Egon Schieles Aktdarstellungen von Frauen und Kindern provozieren auch heute noch. Im Wien des Jahres 1912 brachten sie ihn ins Gefängnis. Wer aber waren die Mädchen und die Frauen, die ihm Modell standen? Wie lebten sie und wie war ihre Beziehung zu dem exzentrischen jungen Künstler, der 1918, kaum achtundzwanzigjährig, an der Spanischen Grippe starb?

Amid restitution lawsuits and murderous competing gallery ow...

In spite of his death to Spanish Flu at the age of 28, Schiele would become one of the leading figures of Austrian Expressionism and a spokesman for a generation of ambitious artists in the years to come. His extraordinary artworks are characterised by their intensity, raw sexuality and controversial tone. Unlike his great mentor Gustav Klimt, Schiele emphasised expression over decoration, heightening the emotive power of line with agitated tension. The centre of his artistic inter...
