Egon Schiele

His work often features distorted figures and erotic themes, exploring psychological and emotional depth. Schiele’s bold lines and stark compositions challenge traditional beauty, emphasizing vulnerability and existential angst. Despite a brief career cut short by his early death from the Spanish flu, his influence on modern art, especially Expressionism, remains profound. His candid depictions of human form and emotion continue to captivate audiences.
