After Egon Schiele. Title of the work is Die Jungfrau. 15" by 21" on board. This painting was found in the attic of a Survivor of WW2 in Montana. He brought it back following the war. It appears to have been a copy of the work. Which is why it is being sold as "After", and not in fact by the artist. It is pencil and pen signed as shown. Egon Schiele (1890-1918) Egon Schiele is one of the most significant artists of the Wiener Moderne along with Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. His exceptional talent was discovered early on. Schiele was accepted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna at the young age of 16, leaving after only three years to found the Neukunstgruppe in 1909. Influenced by Gustav Klimt, whom he first met in 1907, Schiele soon developed a completely unique style. At the age of 20, he was already a mature artist. After leaving Vienna in 1911, Schiele experienced one of his most productive periods. His lifestyle, however, was seen as scandalous outside the capital. He was even imprisoned due to ‘public immorality’. Upon his return to Vienna in 1917, Schiele’s artistic output reached another point of culmination. Schiele achieved his breakthrough in 1918 with a group exhibition of the Vienna Secession. He subsequently participated in "A Century of Viennese Painting" at the Kunsthaus Zürich as well as in shows in Prague and Dresden. Egon Schiele's works, which are connected like no other artist with his biography, are among the most important of modernity and achieve maximum prices at international auctions.
