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 Poster of The Vienna Secession 49th Exhibition 1918
Schiele studied at the Vienna Academy, coming under the influence of the heightened art nouveau of Gustav Klimt. He rapidly evolved his own style, redirecting the symbolist intensity of his mentor towards a more psychological, and indeed more modern, focus. In this Schiele echoed the new psychoanalytical theories of Sigmund Freud as well as his own subjective and often neurotic intimations. His view of human nature, graphically evidenced in the prolific drawings, paintings and prints that constitute his short career, was filtered through a prodigious eroticism. This poster for the last Secessionist exhibition in which he participated is based on a slightly earlier painting, photographically transferred to the lithographic plate before being reworked by the artist. Suggesting a Christ-like centrality not out of keeping with his personality, Schiele represents himself at the head of a table of friends, a number of whom have the tonsures of monks. Beyond its collegiate message, the print impresses as a formal arrangement of stark reductivity. About the Framed Prints
