Egon Schiele, 2020
After Egon Schiele (1890-1918) emerged from the influence of Gustav Klimt, he developed a signature style within a decade before his life was cut short. A child prodigy, Schiele's provocative art, characterized by elongated figures and intense self-portraits, contrasted sharply with Klimt's decorative approach. His work conveyed a raw honesty that challenged Viennese society. Despite being labeled "degenerate" and nearly forgotten, Schiele's art profoundly influenced subsequent generations of artists and continues to command high prices.
