Egon Schiele: The Egoist

Jean-Louis Gaillemin | 2007 | New Horizons

Overview

Egon Schiele lived in Vienna during its final years as the capital of the declining Habsburg Empire. Rejected by his family and ostracized by society for his interest in young girls, he channeled a profound and bewildering loneliness into his art. His work is marked by an obsession with sexuality, death, and decay. Though Schiele died at twenty-eight, he left behind a significant body of work that continues to fuel his public reputation and myth.
