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.
