Egon Schiele

Together with Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele ranks among the pioneers of Modern Art in Austria. His watercolours and drawings, rather than his paintings, which are still rooted in Symbolism, represent the artistic acme of Egon Schiele’s oeuvre. By isolating his shapes and diminishing spatial orientation, as well as by exploring the nude body that had so far been tabooed, Schiele developed figures symbolising the loneliness of human existence.
