Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele, born in 1890, was a pioneering Austrian expressionist painter known for his raw and evocative depictions of the human form. Often exploring themes of sexuality and introspection, his work was both celebrated and controversial during his short life. Schiele’s unique style, characterized by elongated bodies and twisted poses, distinguished him from his contemporaries and cemented his place in the annals of modern art. Though he tragically passed away at the young age of 28 during the 1918 influenza pandemic, Schiele’s profound influence on 20th-century art remains undiminished. Read more about Arts.
