Egon Schiele: Portraits
It’s overcast and warm, perfect gallery weather. Actually, I’ve had it on my calendar for a few weeks to see the Neue Galerie’s Egon Schiele exhibition today. This portrait of Gerti Schiele, the Austrian artist’s sister, is one of my favorites. I can see Gustav Klimt’s influence, Schiele’s mentor, in this picture.

Have a great visit. Love the Neue, galleries, building, and cafe. Perfect afternoon.
It’s fantastic, you will love it!
You’ve just reminded me, there’s an Egon Schiele exhibition in London too!
Egan Schiele is one of my favorite artists. Just yesterday, while visiting the Met, I saw a portrait by Alice Neel, the similarities in style were notable and I’m curious now to see if she was influenced by the short lived , Schiele. I was fortunate to visit his museum in Vienna a few years ago and encourage anyone to make the trip if you have the chance. He was such a talent.
