Product Information

This is perhaps Schiele's most celebrated self-portrait, and certainly the most storied. In this work, painted during a time in which he was participating in numerous exhibitions, Schiele gazes directly at the viewer, his expression suggesting a confidence in his artistic gifts. Although Schiele deploys less distortion than in other self-portraits, the painting refuses to idealize its subject, featuring scars and other lines characteristic of the contoured manner of the artist's drawing style.

For all the differences between Klimt and Schiele in terms of generation, professional status and temperament – Schiele, for example, was narcissistically obsessed with self-portraiture, while no single self-portrait by Klimt exists – their artistic careers were intertwined. They even depicted the same model in their portraits of Friederike Maria Beer – Schiele in 1915-16 and Klimt not long after. Apparently, when Schiele engineered a meeting with Klimt on his arrival in Vienna as an ambitious young artist and asked him whether the drawings he had brought to show him revealed any talent, Klimt is reputed to have replied: “Yes. Much too much!” While Schiele took Klimt as a launching pad for the development of his own expressive style, Klimt returned the favour by integrating aspects of the younger man’s raw vision into his own later work. Their mutual respect and admiration generated a unique dialogue between two highly original lone talents. Vienna. Belvedere.

Share and follow I must have looked at this postcard pretty much every day during my final year at university. It wasn’t until I got to the gallery that day that I realized that this was a real living, breathing woman who had her own hopes and fears. I still didn’t know her name at that point. I didn’t know her relationship to the artist. When I found out that she was, in fact, the artist’s sister-in-law, that raised a huge number of questions for me. Egon Leo Adolf Ludwig Schiele ( German: [ˈeːɡɔn ˈʃiːlə] ⓘ; 12 June 1890 – 31 October 1918) was an Austrian Expressionist painter. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and for the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism. Gustav Klimt, a figurative painter of the early 20th century, was a mentor to Schiele.

Each of them clearly struggled to find meaning in an alliance that was very sexual, highly spiritual, and artistically transformative. Schiele’s poignant Death and the Maiden (1915-16) is considered an homage to his muse; visual evidence of his inability to let go. Yet Neuzil succeeded in moving on, training as a nurse. “It’s interesting that she was at the bottom of society, and a couple of years later she was a nurse in the First World War,” says curator Stefan Pumberger. “This turned out to be very heroic. She made her way into society even after the breakup.” Her story – a poor small-town girl makes good – is indeed decades ahead of its time. Self-portraiture as a genre flourished during the modern period, the era that gave us Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch and, of course, Egon Schiele, and this went hand in hand with the reinvigoration of the relations between art, madness and masculinity that art history as a discipline has always revered – no more so than during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Schiele created numerous erotic portraits during his very short lifetime. His early works were inspired by Gustav Klimt. Here are a few examples of his work. In fairness, this is only partly due to prudery. At precisely the moment when the socio-sexual revolutions of the 1960s enabled us to see past the eroticism of Schiele to the artist beyond, the British art establishment finally caught up with modernism and went overboard for it. Schiele just seemed to have no place in the dominant narrative of modern art, running from Ce?zanne to Cubism to abstract art, never mind the sex.The work of the Wiener Werskstätte creates a beautifully-lit collection of colours and forms from the likes of Moser and Josef Hoffmann: tableware, jewellery, glassware and similar Title Seated Male Nude (Self-Portrait) Date 1910 Art movement Expressionism Category Painting Material​/technique Oil, opaque color on canvas Dimensions 152.5×150 cm Credit line Leopold Museum, Vienna, Inv. 465 Inventory access Contributed to the Leopold Museum-Privatstiftung in 1994 Selection of Reference works New York.

Tobias G. Natter (Ed.), Egon Schiele: The Complete Paintings 1909 – 1918, Taschen, Cologne 2017, ISBN 978-3-8365-4612-6.Post war, he dreamt of a new society in which artists could help rebuild the fractured world around them. An unfinished work from 1918 entitled Friends celebrated the artistic brotherhood he had hoped to create, with Klimt and Schiele seated at a table together with six other artists. In 1907, Schiele sought out Gustav Klimt, who generously mentored younger artists. Klimt took a particular interest in the young Schiele, buying his drawings, offering to exchange them for some of his own, arranging models for him and introducing him to potential patrons. He also introduced Schiele to the Wiener Werkstätte, the arts and crafts workshop connected with the Secession. Schiele's earliest works between 1907 and 1909 contain strong similarities with those of Klimt, as well as influences from Art Nouveau. In 1908 Schiele had his first exhibition, in Klosterneuburg. Schiele left the Academy in 1909, after completing his third year, and founded the Neukunstgruppe ("New Art Group") with other dissatisfied students. In his early years, Schiele was strongly influenced by Klimt and Kokoschka. Although imitations of their styles, particularly with the former, are noticeably visible in Schiele's first works, he soon evolved his own distinctive style.
