The Art of Egon Schiele
Self-Portrait, 1911
Fine Art Reproduction
Image Size: 15 x 8.5 inches
This reproduction is a new, individually printed and proofed, superior quality, giclee* process, fine art print.
It is printed on 100% cotton rag acid-free, heavyweight fine art paper with a luxurious textured watercolor paper finish and archival pigment inks to ensure permanence.
Created for collectors, it IS NOT A POSTER or mass produced print on low quality, inexpensive paper.
Egon Schiele (1890 – 1918 - pronounced approximately SHEE-luh) was an Austrian painter, a protégé of Gustav Klimt, and a major figurative painter of the early 20th century who tragically died at the age of 28 in a Spanish Flu epidemic.
Schiele's body of work is noted for the intensity and the large number of self-portraits he produced. The twisted body shapes that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings make the artist a notable exponent of Expressionism.
There were no limits to what Schiele put on paper in drawing, watercolor and gouache. You get a rare feeling in his depictions of women that here is an artist deploying immense skill for his own self-expression, in private, apparently unconcerned about public perceptions. His self-portraits are notoriously phallic and erotic.
He pictured the human body eroticized in a startling, animal way, without sentiment and excuses. The results are some of the most revolutionary, savage and liberating artworks of the 20th century.
Schiele takes little interest in women as people. Women for Schiele are almost always archetypal; in portraits they have severe, masklike faces; in full-figure drawings they are interchangeable objects of desire. There is often something overripe in his female figures, as though the body were a barometer of moral degeneration.

**the giclee process produces a superior quality, fine art reproduction from a high-resolution digital file of an image. The file is then printed with a high-resolution photo generation printer on a fine art paper. Most artists and working photographers today use the giclee process to produce reproductions of their original artwork and photographs.
As with any original art or fine art reproduction, it is recommended that prints are framed and displayed under glass to prevent color fade or shift over the years.
