Egon Schiele




Schiele's work is interesting both in it's subject matter and it's unique apporach to the figure. He was a student of Gustav Klimt and also of the secessionist group of Vienna. His work is considered lurid and pornographic in nature by many.


I think this particular piece "Portrait of Eduard Kosmack" (1910) appeals to me because of the erratic nature of the line used in it.
