About Egon Schiele
1890-1918
The young artists who founded the rebellious so-called "Neukunstgruppe" (New Art Group) in 1909 wanted to break with the rigid traditions of academic fine art in the spirit of the Secession movements. One of those founders was Egon Schiele, born on 12 June 1890 in Tulln an der Donau ("on the Danube"), Austria, who had studied at the Vienna Academy from 1906-09.
His early work still bears Impressionist features and shows the influence of Gustav Klimt's Viennese Art Nouveau patterns, but from 1910 onwards more and more Expressionist features were included in his painting. His nudes of girls in particular are provocatively sensual and erotic, which went against the moral standards of the time and earned him a short prison sentence in 1912.
When he shifted to a more tectonic pictorial structure, he increasingly included city views and landscapes in his range of motifs. They never radiate cheerfulness, but rather are considered symbols of transience and death. The artist's mood is vehemently expressed through them as if he identified with them.
Egon Schiele sought to illustrate the spiritual life of his models in his portraits, through which the artist had achieved great recognition.
He repeatedly created paraphrases of main works by Gustav Klimt, Vincent van Gogh or Auguste Rodin. In 1915, Schiele was conscripted into military service. He expressed these experiences in more realistic and detailed paintings. On 31 October 1918 Schiele succumbed to the Spanish flu.
Schiele's works are considered the most important link between Art Nouveau and Expressionism and fetch top prices at international auctions. The most important Schiele collection in the world is in the Leopold Museum, Vienna.

Artistic movement that replaced Impressionism in the early 20th century.
Expressionism is the German form of the art revolution in painting, graphic art and sculpture, with its precursors found in the works of Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin at the end of the 19th century. The expressionists sought to reach the fundamental elements of painting. Using vibrant, unbroken colours in large areas, emphasising lines, and aiming for suggestive expressiveness, they fought against the artistic taste established by the bourgeoisie.
The most important representatives of Expressionism were the founders of "Die Brücke": Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Max Pechstein, Otto Mueller and Franz Marc, August Macke and others.
Masters of Viennese Expressionism are Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. Among sculptors, Ernst Barlach is the most famous.
Fauvism is the French form of Expressionism.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
