1910
Egon Schiele, the rebellious star of Viennese Expressionism, captures a woman who looks ready to bite your head off in this 1910 piece titled 'Die Hämische' (The Spiteful One). She sits topless beneath a massive, floppy hat, her arms crossed defensively while her face wears a look of pure disdain. Schiele uses his signature jagged white outline to make her figure pop against the raw brown paper, a technique that makes the subject feel isolated and intense. You can even see his initials 'S. 10.' in the corner, marking a period when he was breaking away from his mentor Gustav Klimt to create art that was raw, erotic, and unapologetically human—traits that actually landed him in jail for a short time!
