The Young Egon Schiele, a pencil drawing
Graphite on paper, 5.5" square, NFS
I've been getting ready for my weekend workshop all
day, and haven't had time to paint, so I thought I would
"cheat", and post something I've already done.
I love this drawing. I love Egon Schiele's work, bizarre
and idiosyncratic as it is, there is so much beauty there.
I know some people have a difficult time finding that
beauty, but for someone who loves to draw as much as
I do, it is very evident.
Poor thing, he died at a very young age (early 20's I think)
of the pandemic flu in 1918. What a waste of a great talent.
Well, he certainly produced a lot while he was alive.
This was done from a photo of his face at the age of about
sixteen, and clearly shows his intelligence and sensitivity,
I think.
Thanks for visiting today.
