Egon Schiele Prints Set of 6 Egon Scheile Paintings (8x10 Unframed) (8 x 10)

Product Information

Schiele was an incredibly productive and unequaled draftsman, producing over 3000 drawings during his brief lifetime. He considered drawing to be his preferred art medium, enjoying its urgency of expression, and created some of the best examples of sketching in the 20th century.

This is perhaps Schiele's most celebrated self-portrait, and certainly the most storied. In this work, painted during a time in which he was participating in numerous exhibitions, Schiele gazes directly at the viewer, his expression suggesting a confidence in his artistic gifts. Although Schiele deploys less distortion than in other self-portraits, the painting refuses to idealize its subject, featuring scars and other lines characteristic of the contoured manner of the artist's drawing style. Unlike his master, Klimt, with whom Schiele is most generally identified, he painted a large number of self-portraits, indicating an obsession with the self comparable to Picasso. Schiele’s aesthetic affected both Expressionist contemporaries such as Oskar Kokoschka and Neo-Expressionist successors such as Julian Schnabel, Francis Bacon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat . New York.

In this painting, one of Schiele's most complex and haunting works, the female figure, gaunt and tattered, clings to the male figure of death, while surrounded by an equally tattered, quasi-surreal landscape. As elsewhere in his work, in this composition Schiele combines the personal and the allegorical—in this case by turning to a theme deriving from the medieval concept of the Dance of Death that reached its height in 15 th-century German art. Death and the Maiden was painted around the time Schiele separated from his longtime lover, Wally Neuzil, and several months before he married his new lover, Edith Harms. The painting memorializes the end of his affair with Neuzil, seemingly conveying this separation as the death of true love. Interestingly enough, the manner in which Schiele's figures are nearly consumed by their clothing and abstracted surroundings suggests the portraiture of Klimt, who likewise placed his subjects within indecipherable environments.

Sadly, their young lives were cut short. While working in Dalmatia (now part of Croatia), Neuzil contracted scarlet fever and died in 1917 at the age of 23. In 1918, a pregnant Edith Schiele succumbed to the Spanish flu; Egon died of the same cause three days later. He was 28. The multiple story lines of Egon and Wally – erotic exploration, artistic inspiration, obsession, loyalty, love,betrayal and service, all in the eye of a societal and geopolitical storm – continue to inspire. So does the powerful beauty, and beautiful power, of the many drawings and paintings of the woman sometimes described as Schiele’s ‘shadow’. Here, she at last shines in her own light.

I was arts editor there and Allie was lifestyle editor. I hadn’t studied history of art, but I’ve always had lots of friends who’ve been artists. I would always be going to like, the Venice Biennnale and exhibitions in the U.K. It felt like a world I was immersed in. If you’re not averse to darker themes or nudity, some of the exhibits certainly hold the attention of even the untrained eye.

Freed of the Academy’s limitations, Schiele began to investigate not just the human figure, but also human sensuality. Schiele’s paintings were already adventurous, but he took it a step further by incorporating Klimt’s ornamental sensuality as well as what some may call figurative aberrations, which comprised elongations, malformations, and sexual openness and transparency. Experts rightly consider the museum’s Egon Schiele collection world-leading. The Leopold owns over 40 paintings and almost 200 works on paper.
