schiele

This past week
was the 101st death an­niver­sary
of one of my most fa­vorite artists of all time,
Egon Schiele,
whose lega­cy of ob­ser­va­tion­al line work
I fol­low in.

 

He died at 28, but left a huge body of trea­sured work.

His men­tor, Gus­tav Klimt adored him.

 

 

So raw.

 

So many biters out there, now you’ll rec­og­nize them.

 

 

 

Hurts my feel­ings.

 

 

Ob­ser­va­tion­al draw­ing is drafts­man­ship based on what you see and feel – ver­sus con­struc­tive draw­ing, based on stud­ied
cubes,
cones,
tubes,
etc.

 

 

‘Death and the Maid­en’ unites two themes that were a life­long fas­ci­na­tion to Egon Schiele; death and eroti­cism. It shows two fig­ures in an em­brace, ap­par­ent­ly seen from above, not usu­al at all for Schiele to use such a strange per­spec­tive. They cling to each oth­er in de­spair; painful­ly aware of the fi­nal­i­ty and hope­less­ness of their love.

Kills me.
