I decided to share another Egon Schiele post, since my last post, Egon Schiele. Women, has been so popular. I am glad to see that so many people enjoy or are enthralled by the Austrian,  Modern painter's work. The paintings featured here are some of his landscapes. His women and nudes are always very popular, but his landscapes and cityscapes are really quite amazing too. Whether it is shingles, trees, flowers or water, everything has movement and vibrancy of color. The landscapes are beautiful, but convey a sense of uneasiness, but a sense of presence. Schiele is showing the fleeting moments of his world (but this could be anybody's world) dotted in time.

The early Modern Austrian painter Egon Schiele's portraiture work is stunning, haunting &   erotic. His jaggedly bold lines not only create the shape of his subjects, but expressively emanates their being. Whether his subjects are nude, or draped in thin yet bold fabrics, Schiele creates a subject that seduces the viewer. Personally, I am drawn to all his work, landscapes & portraits, but his women really resonate with me. As a female his work intrigues me. The male gaze is blatantly evident, yet these paintings remain mysterious, graceful & intriguing. During the Modernist period, Schiele was breaking the boundaries of what gallery acceptability was & apart of the ever changing traditional standards of painting itself.
