About "The embrace, Egon Schiele - 1917"

About the artwork

Die Umarmung (Liebespaar II) (Dutch: De Omhelzing (Liefdespaar II)) is a 1917 painting by expressionist Austrian painter Egon Schiele. It shows a nude love couple, probably the artist and his wife, in close embrace. The work is in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna. Schiele's drawings and paintings are mainly depictions of people. Colour in the paintings is only applied afterwards, when the drawing is finished. However, the use of colour greatly enhances the alienating effect.

Although Schiele is strongly influenced by Gustav Klimt's work, the lines he uses are completely different in nature. While Klimt mainly depicts round soft shapes, idealising the human form, Schiele uses powerful angular lines. As a result, the bodies depicted are experienced as strange and often frightening by the viewer. Women as well as men are relentlessly depicted in their nudity, in unusual poses. Yet Schiele's work was widely acclaimed in his time.
