More about this artwork

Artist: Egon Schiele"Black-Haired Girl with Lifted Skirt," crafted by the renowned Expressionist Egon Schiele in 1911, is a compelling and emotionally charged piece that exemplifies Schiele's daring approach to form and subject matter. This striking watercolor portrays a young woman in a dynamic and uninhibited pose. Her black, voluminous hair frames her face and cascades around her shoulders, creating a stark contrast with her pale skin and the light-colored background.Schiele's characteristic line work is evident in the elongated limbs and expressive gestures of the figure. The girl is depicted with her skirt lifted, exposing her undergarments in a manner that is both bold and revealing. This depiction challenges the conventional modesty of the time and reflects Schiele's interest in exploring themes of sexuality and the human body's raw presentation.The use of color in this artwork is subdued yet impactful. The deep, saturated tones of the skirt contrast with the delicate pinks and whites of the girl's underclothes and skin, drawing attention to the focal point of the painting—her exposed thigh. Schiele’s method of blending color and contour lines not only emphasizes the emotional depth of the portrait but also lends a dream-like quality to the piece.

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.
