Egon Schiele was one of the most intense and controversial artists of the early 20th century. A shy, reserved child turned rebellious visionary. He scandalised Vienna with raw, often unsettling depictions of the human body. His work is filled with twisted forms and existential angst, reflecting an obsession with mortality, sexuality, and identity – especially his own.
His self-portraits are unlike anything that came before them: emaciated, contorted and confrontational. With sunken eyes and twisted limbs – they were not intended to flatter, but to disturb. So, what drove this young artist to depict himself so mercilessly?
