Egon Schiele (1890–1918). Viennese draughtsman and painter who drew the figure — himself above all, his partner Wally, his wife Edith, models, children — with a hard, searching line, often finished in minutes and touched up with gouache and watercolour. In barely ten working years he made thousands of drawings and around 300 paintings, from raw self-portraits to quiet townscapes of his mother's hometown, Krumau. He died of the Spanish flu at 28, three days after Edith. The pieces here are in the public domain, shared openly by the museums that hold them.
