More about this artwork

Welcome to a glimpse into the artwork "Schwein von hinten" (Pig from Behind), created in 1918 by the provocative and visionary Austrian artist, Egon Schiele. This painting captures an unorthodox and spirited portrayal of a pig, viewed from the rear. Schiele, known for his raw and expressive style, applies these attributes intriguingly to the depiction of an animal.In this composition, the pig is centered against a roughly textured, warm orange backdrop that contrasts sharply with the subtle shades of the pig's body. Schiele’s use of bold, black outlines accentuates the form of the pig, emphasizing its rounded haunches and legs. The simplicity of the features, particularly the tail rendered as a playful, curly line, injects a touch of whimsy into the painting.What makes Schiele's work stand out is his ability to convey character and vitality using minimal strokes and a restrained palette. This piece is not only a representation of an animal but also an expression of form and emotion, characteristic of Schiele's groundbreaking approach to art."Schwein von hinten" subtly challenges viewers to appreciate the beauty and individuality of subjects often overlooked in fine art.

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.
