Two Reclining Figures
1912
Egon Schiele's 1912 drawing 'Two Reclining Figures' captures his signature raw and emotional style, featuring two nude bodies intertwined in a contorted, almost awkward embrace. The figure on top sports a bright yellow hat and a blue blindfold, adding a surreal, playful touch to the stark, scratchy lines that define their forms. Schiele was a master of capturing human vulnerability, often pushing boundaries with his provocative nudes. In fact, he was actually arrested in 1912 for 'public immorality' because his art was considered too shocking for the time!
