Schiele



The Viennese Expressionist Egon Schiele (1890-1918) had only two urgent interests: himself and his sexual fantasies.
Out of such limited preoccupations and by means of a preternatural gift for drawing and graphic design, he created artworks that still burn with narcissistic yearning, erotic desire, bohemian dissent and existential anxiety.
