  • Egon Schiele
    Jun 12, 1890 - Oct 31, 1918
  • Autumn Sun I - Egon Schiele was a Austrian Expressionist Painter, was at odds with art critics and society for most of his brief life. Even more than Gustav Klimt, Schiele made eroticism one of his major themes and was briefly imprisoned for obscenity in 1912. His treatment of the nude figure suggests a lonely, tormented spirit haunted rather than fulfilled by sexuality.

  • 1912
    Oil on canvas
    80.2 cm (31.57 in.) x 80.5 cm (31.69 in.)
    Private collection.

    This oil on canvas painting from 1912 is by the Austrian Expressionist artist, Egon Schiele, and is called "Autumn Sun I". Though mostly remembered for his often risqué portraits, over one third of Schiele’s oil pieces were actually landscapes. Schiele found that nature walks provided solace from his personal life, seeing a connection between nature and human emotion. The outdoors provided a respite from his tumultuous home life and what he deemed as "lifeless schooling" In 1911, Schiele started a series of works that anthropomorphized trees, essentially creating tree 'portraits.' Between 1911 and 1912, this was the focus of his work. This is one of those pieces. If you look carefully, you’ll notice that the trees are too weak to stand alone, and are being propped up. "One experiences an autumnal tree in summer most profoundly," Schiele explained. "This melancholy I want to paint."

Egon Schiele

b. 1890, Tulln, Austria; d. 1918, Vienna

Egon Schiele was born June 12, 1890, in Tulln, Austria. After attending school in Krems and Klosterneuburg, he enrolled in the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna in 1906. Here he studied painting and drawing but was frustrated by the school’s conservatism. In 1907, he met Gustav Klimt, who encouraged him and influenced his work. Schiele left the Akademie in 1909 and founded the Neukunstgruppe with other dissatisfied students. Upon Klimt’s invitation, Schiele exhibited at the 1909 Vienna Kunstschau, where he encountered the work of Edvard Munch, Jan Toroop, Vincent van Gogh, and others. On the occasion of the first exhibition of the Neukunstgruppe in 1909 at the Piska Salon, Vienna, Schiele met the art critic and writer Arthur Roessler, who befriended him and wrote admiringly of his work. In 1910, he began a long friendship with the collector Heinrich Benesch. By this time, Schiele had developed a personal expressionist portrait and landscape style and was receiving a number of portrait commissions from the Viennese intelligentsia.

Seeking isolation, Schiele left Vienna in 1911 to live in several small villages; he concentrated increasingly on self-portraits and allegories of life, death, and sex and produced erotic watercolors. In 1912, he was arrested for “immortality” and “seduction”; during his 24-day imprisonment, he executed a number of poignant watercolors and drawings. Schiele participated in various group exhibitions, including those of the Neukunstgruppe in Prague in 1910 and Budapest in 1912; the Sonderbund, Cologne, in 1912; and several Secession shows in Munich, beginning in 1911. In 1913, the Galerie Hans Goltz, Munich, mounted Schiele’s first solo show. A solo exhibition of his work took place in Paris in 1914. The following year, Schiele married Edith Harms and was drafted into the Austrian army. He painted prolifically and continued to exhibit during his military service. His solo show at the Vienna Secession of 1918 brought him critical acclaim and financial success. He died several months later in Vienna, at age 28, on October 31, 1918, a victim of influenza, which had claimed his wife three days earlier.
