Red-headed woman in black stockings, 1917 Egon Schiele

He has been called a schizophrenic or a pervert. Some critics even saw in his drawings the productions of a deranged mind. In reality, Egon Schiele was ahead of his times. No matter how shocking and anti-conformist he might have seemed, Egon Schiele was a simple Epicurean. But what made him exceptional was his phenomenal talent that has rarely been equalled in the history of art. He was responsible for some of the most extraordinary drawings of all time. Before being struck by the Spanish flu at the age of 28, in barely ten years the artist produced about three hundred canvasses and several thousand drawings.
