Autoritratto

Egon Schiele Austrian
1911
Not on view
Durante la sua breve ma intensa carriera, Schiele fu straordinariamente prolifico. Prima della sua morte a causa di un’influenza a soli ventotto anni, egli eseguì oltre trecento dipinti e diverse migliaia di disegni su carta. Il soggetto della maggior parte delle sue opere fu la figura umana, resa con possente energia. I numerosi autoritratti eseguiti negli anni compresi tra il 1910 e il 1918 sono conturbanti esplorazioni del suo stato mentale. Così in questo autoritratto del 1911, in cui assume la posa suggestiva del Cristo in croce, ha lo sguardo selvaggiamente fisso e la chioma di capelli ritta sul capo.
