Art Talk: Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele: Nature, Allegory, and the Human Condition

Registration Required: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/6d8LHe1MSgaN0hz3YjCCqw

Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt’s protégé, shocked the art world with his sensual drawings, ravishing portraits, and ebullient landscapes that represent more than their apparent subject matter. His works characterize the cycle of life and the human condition in a unique and stunning way. Come and hear this presentation that will introduce you to intense, expressive works created during a productive but tragically abbreviated life.
