Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele was considered to be quite controversial about his work, the nude portraiture he had painted where of a teenage girl, the both of them had been driven out of town they lived in, in Krumau. In the typical manner of Egon’s self-portraits, he has shown the peculiar and troubled image he perceives of himself for instance:-

'Self-portrait with Chinese lantern'

1912

oil and gouache on panel

this piece shows a very narcissistic look at Egon  show with the facial expression he presents, the energy he shows in the line quality and shading particularly on his jacket emits a slight nervousness or anxiety about him.
