Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele

Gustav Klimt

Egon Schiele

These days, after transferred from Psychology to Art, I’m more interested in drawing. So, I have enthusiasm for drawing and practices every day. I’m spending time to search some drawings of well-known artists, and Gustav Klimt’s and Egon Schiele’s drawing is most impressive. Gustav Klimt who is well-known for his major work ‘Kiss’ and ‘Judith’ left many impressive drawing besides his colorful art works. Egon Schiele is well known for unique style of body drawing

.

Schiele and Klimt both belong to Vienna secessionists that is a trend of art at Austria in 1897. They are typical artist of Vienna secessionists that is art nouveau style and expressed in eroticism. Schiele was affected from Klimt’s art because he was Klimt’s disciples. They portrayed into their art work with non-rational madness of sex. Both drew human’s naked body using very (nervously) thin lines.

In early phase, their drawing style is similar each other, but these were changed gradually. Klimt’s used more splendid color and is decorative. He drew in gold and silver, used abstract and decorative patterns in background of art works. Also his art work is feminine usually. On the other hand, Schiele’s line is more masculine, and he used powerful and rough coloring style. Viewed from the side of subject, Schiele cognized sex is unwholesome and non-rational, so he express sex meaninglessly and vainly.

Seoul vs Tokyo !

  Many people say that there is almost no difference between Seoul the capital of Korea and Tokyo the capital of Japan. Both are cities of Asian country, many skyscrapers, complicated roads and overflowing cars, the brilliant light of neon signs and the streets overflowing with the crowds, when we think of these things both cities are really similar. However, people can notice several striking differences after travel to two cities.
  In Seoul, driver's seat is left side and traffic keeps to the right, on the other hand, driver’s seat is right side and traffic keeps to the left. Since I live in Seoul, I unaccustomed to the traffic system so that when I traveled Tokyo, I rode wrong bus going to the opposite direction in many times.
  Almost people see the many red lighting cross at night in Seoul, there are so many churches, but Tokyo has many shrines for holding a memorial service for their gods. There is almost no church in Tokyo.
  In the street of Seoul, people can see many pigeons wander around everywhere. Unpleasantly many pigeons are in public streets and parks. However, in Tokyo, there are many crows as much as pigeons in Seoul. Because Japanese think crow is the bird of good luck, while Korean regard to crow is the bird of bad luck.
Tokyo is attracting travel site, but I love Seoul, Seoul is the best livable city to me.
