Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is an Austrian painter and designer linked to the expressionist movement.
From his student years, Egon Schiele demonstrated an ability to draw extremely quickly. The naked human figure will be his main source of inspiration. Due to lack of means, he first asks his sister, poor children or patients from a women’s clinic. Subsequently, his partner Wally, then his wife, will be his main models. His erotic works are sought after by amateurs, despite a sometimes brutal, even morbid vision. Disarticulating the bodies, Schiele gives his models the impersonal faces of rag dolls. The shapes, first enhanced with watercolor and outlined with gouache, become refined, leaving the line with all its power. Schiele, who knew little about the foreign art of his time, is part of the tradition of the great Germanic designers.
