Gustav Klimt & Egon Schiele—The Greatest Painters of the World
Description
One of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement, Gustav Klimt was a Symbolist painter and one of the first to introduce the Art Nouveau movement in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His work is characterized by the portrayal of the female body and a frank eroticism. He is also known for his use of gold leaf in his works. Egon Schiele was a pioneer of Expressionism. He is best known for his portraits and self-portraits. His work was always intense and often very sexual with twisted bodies, elongated forms and other figural distortions. While some critics viewed his works as grotesque, vulgar and pornographic, he has been credited with reinventing the nude as a subject for the 20th century.
