About ‘Naked in black stockings, Egon Schiele - 1917’
Egon Schiele (Tulln, 12 June 1890 - Vienna, 31 October 1918) was an Austrian expressionist painter.
Although Schiele is strongly influenced by the work of Gustav Klimt, the lines he uses are completely different in nature. While Klimt mainly depicts round soft shapes, with which he idealizes the human form, Schiele uses powerful angular lines. The bodies depicted are thus perceived as strange and often frightening by the viewer. Both women and men are ruthlessly depicted in their nakedness, in unusual poses. Nevertheless, Schiele's work received much acclaim in his time.
