Egon Schiele

<<Back to Art and Artists Mindmap

Who was he for me?

The short answer is an artist recommended to me by my tutor. On investigating, however, I start to see why. I’m not sure I could say I really like his work, but there is something of a connection to some of my own:

I’m not sure I could truly say I like his work – I can’t see me deciding to have a print on my walls at home.

Interesting Works

I have observed previously that I want to move away from trying for purely realistic representation and try to emphasise a more open style. Egon Schiele achieves this in spades:
