In 1918 the Spanish Flu killed his pregnant wife & then Schiele, three days later. The virus cut off one of Europe’s greatest artists in his prime. Two Women (1917), The Family (1918), Woman (1918) & Paris von Gütersloh
In 1911 he met Wally who would become his muse. Schiele found the bourgeois environment of Vienna stifling & so he moved with her to Krumau in Bohemia. However he was driven out by the locals. Here are a series of lesbian works from 1911
One of Schiele’s greatest series of masterpieces is his group of erotic & passionate self-portraits often in etiolated form around 1910
Schiele became aware of the work of Munch, Toorop & Van Gogh & was inspired by them (1909). From this time Schiele began exploring his sexuality- especially in drawings & watercolours. Self-portrait (1910), Sunflower (1908), Hans Massmann (1909) & Dead Girl (1910)
He had his first exhibit in 1909. Along with Klimt, Schiele was also influenced by Kokoschka. Having integrated their ideas he created his own style. The Artist’s Sister (1908), Gerti Schiele (1909), Female Nude Crouching (1909) & Self-portrait (1909)
