  Egon Schiele - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Egon Schiele was born in Tulln on the Danube.
When Schiele was 15 years old, his father died of syphilis, and he became a ward of his uncle (his mother's brother), who became distressed by Schiele's lack of interest in academic studies, yet recognised his passion and talent for art.
Schiele and Wally wanted to escape what they perceived as the claustrophobic Viennese milieu, and went to the small town of Krumau in southern Bohemia (the place where Schiele's mother was born, and nowadays the site of a museum dedicated to Schiele).

 MyStudios- Egon Schiele
Schiele's most powerful work is in his male and female nudes in pencil, gouache, and watercolour, the figures express in their postures emotions from despair to passion - and the female nudes are often unashamedly erotic.
Schiele was primarily a draughtsman, and the angularities of his line and its nervous precision pervade all his work.
Arthur Roessler, in his memoir of Schiele, conveys the impression that the artist's mother was capable of scarcely credible mental cruelty, and pushed her son to the brink of a deep abyss of desperation.

Schiele often used such contrasts to focus on the body and the flesh, in this case calling attention to the girl's small breasts, long and slender arms, and arresting face.
In 1911, Schiele moved briefly to Krumau, his mother's birthplace in Bohemia, where he created many visionary cityscapes, but was forced to leave during the summer because of local disapproval of his unorthodox lifestyle.

Schiele was at this time struggling to absorb into his own artistic personality the oppressive traditional academy training and the influences of Klimt, Kokoschka and the linear Viennese Art Nouveau.
Schiele paid these minors token sums, or let them hang out in his apartment in Vienna and later in Neulengbach, cultivating their familiarity and coaxing them into modeling for him, sometimes nude.
Schiele's increasing success brought him a larger range of adult models and portrait commissions, and in 1915 he married, influences that stimulated a new sensitivity to the individuality of his subjects.

 Egon Schiele: Progress of a Rebel - Cynthia Grenier
If we consider his career in the light of Egon Schiele, the first major exhibition devoted to his work in the States since 1965, we find considerable reason to reevaluate his place in history as an artistic forerunner to the likes of a James Dean.
Schiele was a product of the fin de siecle culture of Vienna, a culture that brought forth such major artists as Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka.
Schiele's all too brief but brilliant life has lent itself to being mythologized, not unlike that of a number of rock stars who in decades since died young, leaving their full talents unrealized (Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendrix, and Janis Joplin are but a few that come to mind).

While Egon Schiele painted to destroy the conservative Viennese facade of moral uprighteousness and expose the inner truth, Gustav Klimt indulged in this hypocritical pretense, manipulating it with sexual symbolism.
Schiele, on the other hand was a early Austrian Expressionist whose intentions to reveal the inner truth of his sitters was greatly influenced by the revolutionary psychoanalytic theories of Freud.
During the years 1909-1910 Schiele began developing his own style, emerging as a premier Expressionist artist along with Kokoschka.2 Twelve years after Klimt had founded the Vienna Secession, Schiele left the Academy with a group of students and founded the independent artists' association called the Neukunstgruppe, of which he was elected president.

 Apollo: The critical landscape: Egon Schiele is famed for his figures, but many of his works were landscapes. Elizabeth ...
Over sixty per cent of the paintings in Jane Kallir's Schiele catalogue raisonne of 1990/98 are defined as 'landscapes'; yet this contribution to the genre has only recently become the subject of a monograph--Kimberly A. Smith's wide-ranging study Between Ruin and Renewal: Egon Schiele's Landscapes--and is only now the focus of an exhibition.
Of around fifty works newly identified in the catalogue of paintings incorporated within his Schiele monograph of 1972 (not included, that is to say, in the 1930 and 1966 catalogues published by Otto Kallir-Nirenstein) most are classifiable as landscapes, notably of the early years (1906-10).
The conclusions reached in 1972 regarding Schiele's other landscapes, notably his remarkable trees, gathered in the second section of the show, are likewise assumed to have stood the test of time, being restated, sometimes word for word, in the relevant entries in the catalogue.

 The Wider, Not Wilder, Egon Schiele - New York Times
There are exercises made before 1910, when Schiele was a talented teenage art student; drawings from 1912 made during a short, painful stay in prison; portraits of his in-laws; and images of fellow soldiers and landscapes from his easy stint in the Austrian Army.
Women for Schiele are almost always archetypal; in portraits they have severe, masklike faces; in full-figure drawings they are interchangeable objects of desire.
In self-portraits Schiele glamorizes himself, exaggerating his soulful eyes, his lithe and skinny body, his long, prehensile fingers, his high forehead and his mass of standing-up hair.

The Austrian painter Egon Schiele is now recognised as a major figure in the history of modern art and in the development of the Expressionist movement.
He was only 28 when he died in 1918, yet in his short life he produced a remarkable series of intense and powerful images, and although dogged by unfounded accusations of pornography he pursued his vocation as an artist with uncompromising intensity, giving expression to his most powerful feelings with an anguished honesty.

The Schiele that attracted me to the article is one of the art works in question, one that is now known to have been part of the seized "collection of Fritz Grunbaum, a Viennese cabaret artist who was killed by the Nazis after they seized his art.
His collection of Schiele drawings and watercolors was auctioned in Switzerland in 1956, and after the New York seizure of "Wally," the validity of the auction has been questioned, with no clarity about whether the works were ever in the possession of a lawful heir." (from the article)

This monumental, gorgeous, two-part book, a biography and a catalogue raisonné, is the definitive tome on Egon Schiele (1890-1917), who died at the impossibly tragic age of 27.
With characteristic understatement, she laments "the regrettable tendency of later authors to discredit their predecessors," while acknowledging that "meaningful contributions to Schiele scholarship have been made at every turn." In the long biography, Kallir sifts through a century of potboiling prose to capture the factual past in all its mystery and sadness.
She speaks of Schiele's subjects--"the quintessential adolescent experiences of sexual awakening and spiritual exploration"--and remarks, "Neither before nor after Schiele does one often encounter an artist who addresses such issues so directly." Unlike her more reserved predecessors, Kallir openly discusses every nuance of Schiele's personal, sexual, pictorial, political, and social development with subtlety and candor.
