When you look at Egon Schiele’s portraits and self-portraits, it seems he had some kind of a hand fetish.

It is a recurring topic in his portraits, and fingers are painted or drawn long in all kinds of open, twisted and bizarre symbolic gestures.

Käthe Kollwitz & Egon Schiele

Two of my favourite artists, esp when it comes to their drawings of hands. 🙌

Which of these artists do you like most or do you have a particular artist that you admire esp for one aspect or feature of their work/style?
