- Egon Schiele , 1913, Gouache, watercolor, and graphite on paper, 18 3/4 x 12 1/2 in. (47.6 x 31.8 cm)
- “I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds.” –Egon SchieleEgon Schiele was an expressionist painter born on June 12, 1890 in Austria. Artist Gustav Klint was Schiel’s friend and mentor, Though Shiele’s art was vastly different than Klint’s Nuevo style. Shiele’s produced over three thousand prints during the span of his career. His art contributed a good deal to the development of the expressionist art movement.Shiele’s drawing show a graphic style, bold colors, and embraces figure distortion.
- Expressionist artwork is meant to convey and express emotions rather than realism. Often figures and items are distorted rather than realistic. Shiele’s image of two women embracing distorts their bodies rather than aiming for a more realistic look, but still manages to convey the emotion behind the piece.
- I included this work of art in my show because I love the feel of it, the muted colors of the pencil and the brighter pops of the paint.
