Schiele Paintings

Many of the world’s most famous works of art are beautiful in their complex, strange nature, and these complicated pieces are the most thought provoking. Egon Schiele created a number of intense paintings of twisted body shapes, abstract houses and themes of death, but used this anger to create beautiful pieces of art. For the serious art collector looking to add something truly unique to an art collection, browse overstockArt’s selection of reproductions of Egon Schiele’s paintings at the best value available online. Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter in the early 1900s. He was a protégé of fellow Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, whose works were marked with eroticism and symbolism. Where Klimt focused on the erotic nature of the female form, Schiele used the same techniques to paint complicated, explicit portrayals of nude females and pieces with themes of death and rebirth. He also frequently painted self-portraits, and many of his most famous works were paintings of himself in strange, emaciated forms. Schiele’s oil paintings were largely regarded as pornographic, disturbing and grotesque during his lifetime, though today his work is extremely well-respected by the art community. His paintings are featured in museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Leopold Museum in Vienna. overstockArt’s collection of Egon Schiele’s greatest oil paintings includes flawless reproductions, hand painted using quality oil paints on artist-grade canvas.
