Austrian art

Little Girls. Egon Schiele (1890-1918) Austria

My collection

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter.  Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and many self-portraits the artist produced, including naked self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.

Martta Wendelin (1893-1986)

She illustrated fairy tales and school books, and drew postcards and magazine covers. The high time of her career was in 1930s, when magazines were able to use good quality images, but use of photographs was not yet that common.
