#6 Artist of the day - Schiele

Video - Depiction of Schiele working

Egon Schiele 1890 - 1918

Egon Schiele is an Austrian painter, and was a major figurative artist of early 20th Century. His work is intense, graphic, erotic and pornographic. I love the line weights, pockets of deep, rich colour and clarity in his drawings. 

Figurative works defined by bone structure, creating a sharp, jagged edge throughout the body.

If you like the feel of Schieles work then search for more images, or alternatively purchase one of his books. A favourite of mine, studied during art foundation is 'Egon Schiele' by Erwin Mitsch, Publisher Phaidon. There are many to choose from!! But you can get reasonable priced copies via Amazon.
