Schiele, Egon
Austrian artist, Egon Schiele (1890-1918,) is regarded as one of the most radical expressionist painters of the 20th century. Schiele's elongated, angular figures are unapologetically honest, characterised by bold, continuous lines. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.
