Schiele
Description
Egon Schiele has become one of the most celebrated artists of the last hundred years. He was a controversial figure in his own short lifetime who was jailed on an obscenity charge. His work is starkly honest and provocative, intensely powerful images where the human figure is stripped down, both sexually and psychologically. He's one of the great draftsmen in art history and perhaps the most obsessive painter of the self. In the program Tim Marlow examines Schiele's vision in works such as Death and the Maiden and Seated Male Nude.
