Egon Schiele - Austrian Expressionist
August 9th, 2011
Austria is very proud of it's famous artists. One of which is Egon Schiele (1890-1918).
Schiele's art still fascinates many today. His painting of the human figures are true to their spiritual self, rather than photo realistic.
This is what I really love about the Expressionists. Their skill in communicating through lines and color transcends their message through time, and outlives any imaging technological advances today.
In my website is a tribute to this artist, Egon Schiele who, sadly, died too young... at only 28. One cannot help but to realized the loss to the art world of the many masterpieces he would have created had he a full life span.
