STANDING NUDE GIRL(1910)

Egon Schiele (1890-1918)
Today, I would like to talk about Egon Schiele. He was a famous artist in the world and as an art student, I admire his work. When I saw his drawing for the first time, I was shocked because he expressed women’s body explicitly. So sometimes when I examine his work, I feel embarrassed. However, his drawing is really beautiful and strong, so his works often brings huge impressions on me. The title of this drawing is ''Standing Nude Girl''. It has been painted in 1910. It is one of my favourite drawings, because this drawing imposes a feeling of irony. The young girl in this picture looks very pure, and yet she is not wearing anything and appears exotic, which provokes sexual feelings of the audiences. Now I would like to briefly explain about Schiele. He was born in Tull on the Danube. As a child, he had a talent in art, so he decided to study art. Later on in his life, he met Klimt Gustar, who influenced Shiele’s work. Gustar usually drew portraits of others or himself and his pictures are also usually erotic and sexual.
