100 Rs
Egon Schiele (1890 – 1918) was an Austrian painter and a protégé of Gustav Klimt. Egon Schiele was the 'enfant terrible' of the Viennese avant-garde.
Schiele's Expressionist figurative works on themes like budding sexuality, death and decay scandalised early 20th-century Vienna. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.
The Leopold Museum, Vienna houses Schiele's most important and complete collection of work.

About Male Nude with Raised Arm
In the radical and obsessive ways in which he envisioned himself, Egon Schiele staged his body, as it were, and through facial expressions and corporal gesticulations, brought it to the limit of what is anatomically possible. An early highlight of this was the 1910 painting Seated Male Nude (Self-Portrait). The 20-year-old artist presented himself naked, in an almost painful physical position. The skin, and with it the body’s sensual surface, is displayed with every tendon, muscle, and bone emphasized, making the body appear almost skinned. He projected this fragmented body onto the canvas with no apparent narrative context. The yellow-green flesh, signal-red eyes, nipples, navel, and genitals are far removed from any naturalistic colour scheme. Schiele's search for the ego, pursued in countless self-portrayals, form a reflection on the quintessence of human existence, in which Eros and Thanatos play the leading roles.
