Poster Schiele Figura Femminile - cm 30x24

Figura femminile Schiele - Egon Schiele, born in 1890 in Tulln near Vienna, started his studies at the Vienna Accademy of Plastic Arts at the age of 16. He was lastingly influenced by Gustav Klimt, whom he met in 1907. Although Art Nouveau and its strong aesthetization were his starting-point, he soon became an Expressionist avant-gardist. With the portrayal of ugly and degenerate acts, he exposed Man's tragic fate and violent mental anguish. Because of his emphatically erotic portrayal of his models, he was accused of being pornographic and commited to prison for 24 days in 1912. Egon Shiele died of Spanish influenza in 1918.
