Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was an Austrian painter and draftsman who is one of the most important representatives of Expressionism. His works, often erotic and provocative, are characterized by angular lines, distorted perspectives and expressive colors. They often depict nude figures in intimate or vulnerable poses and express both beauty and pain.
Schiele was part of Viennese Modernism and was heavily influenced by Gustav Klimt. He was a member of the Neukunstgruppe and his works are often classified as Expressionism. His depictions of sexuality led to conflicts with society. Schiele died of the Spanish flu at the age of 28.
