Self-Representation
Self-Portrait
Egon Schiele was the bad boy of Viennese Expressionism, and this sketchy self-portrait screams his signature nervous energy. With jagged, frantic lines, he captures himself twisting awkwardly in a loose smock, looking back with wide, haunted eyes. Unlike the polished portraits of his time, Schiele wanted to show the raw, ugly truth of the human condition. He was only 28 when he died, but in that short time, he produced thousands of drawings that still feel incredibly modern and intense today.
