Egon Schiele

    
   Have you seen this picture before? or have you heard 'Egon Schiele'? He was an Austrian painter.He was born in Tulln on the Danube. As a child he attended the school run by the 'Stift Klosternenburg'. His arts teacher recognized and supported his talent. In 1906, he applied at the 'Kunstgewerbeschule' (school of arts and kraft) in Vienna, where Gustav Klimt has once studied, and they worked together. Schiele was affected by him a lot.

   Some view his work as being grotesque, erotic or disturbing, focusing on the sex, death and discovery. Usually he focused on portraits of others as well as himself. In his later years, while he still worked often with nudes, they were done in a more realist fashion. He also painted tributes to Van Gogh's 'sun flowers' as well as landscapes. The Leopord museum, Vienna houses perhaps. Schiele's most important and complete collection of work, featuring over 200 exhibits.

   I like his line of picture. It is very rough and tough sharply also. It makes me risky and feel dangerous. He usually drew himself. It looks he had a huge self-confidence. He always proud himself and his pictures. Sometimes I was consoled of his picture, because of that reason. His picture also has warm color. I was influenced by him, when I was drawing.
