More about this artwork

This captivating artwork titled "Liegende (Reclining Nude)" from 1918 is a luminous example of Egon Schiele's innovative approach to figurative painting. Known for his intense and raw portrayal of the human form, Schiele offers an unapologetic depiction of nudity, marked by his distinctive lines and emotive expressiveness. The painting portrays a female figure reclining awkwardly with arms raised above her head, an unusual pose that highlights the natural yet unconventional beauty of the human body. Schiele's use of line contours the form of the nude, her flesh rendered in pale hues against the stark, neutral background, thereby directing all attention to the figure herself. His style imbues the subject with a sense of vulnerability and sensuality, making it a profound statement on the nature of human physicality and the art of expression.

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.
