EGON SCHIELE

One of my fauvorite painters: Egon Schiele (1890-1918) (you may have deduced it from my background: "Seated Female Nude with Raised Right").
Austrian, disciple of Gustav Klimt, his paintings are full of erotism  in an eccentric tension of  autonomous colour.
His work is full of  nudes and self-portraits, where the space is -may I use Milan Kundera's words-" the umbereable lightness of being", loneliness in pure state, swimming between expresionism and art noveau.
These are some of his most famous pictures:
Nude selfportrait
Sitting woman with legs drawn up
Two women
