Artist research- Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele (June 12, 1890 – October 31, 1918) was an Austrian painter. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and the many self portraits the artist produced, including naked self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterise Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of expressionism.






Egon has a very unique style of painting/drawing, i like the alternate colours he used,such as the green pregnant stomach and orange nipples, his work is very interesting and i would like to recreate something in his style and use his techniques.
