More about this artwork
The painting "Stehender Männlicher Rückenakt" (Standing Male Nude, Back View) by Egon Schiele draws attention with its raw and intense representation of the human form. Created in 1910, this artwork showcases Schiele's distinctive and evocative style which often explored the boundaries of human physicality and emotion through art.This particular piece depicts the back view of a standing male nude. The model’s body, rendered with elongated limbs and a slightly hunched posture, conveys a haunting quality that is typical of Schiele’s work. His anatomy is stylized yet detailed, highlighting the contours and muscles with bold, confident lines and earthy tones, which enhance the textural quality of the flesh.Schiele’s use of poignant and somewhat disconnected lines encompasses a sense of vulnerability and resonance. The stark and minimalistic backdrop focuses the viewer’s attention solely on the figure, emphasizing the sense of isolation and introspection.This painting not only reflects Schiele’s technical skill but also his deep exploration of human vulnerability and the existential solitudes.

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude 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.
