This October 3, 2018, at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, let’s dive straight to the early 20th century with this exhibition about Austrian painter and poet Egon Schiele (1890-1918). The artist, Gustav Klimt’s disciple, of whom he will paint the portrait on his death bed has became a reference in terms of the Impressionist movement.
120 of his works, drawings, gouaches, paintings will be scattered covering over 600 sqm of the Fondation Louis Vuitton a museum designed for contemporary and modern art in Paris 16th arrondissement. A well-organized exhibition since the tour has been thought up in a chronological order and follows the evolution of the artist’s line throughout his career. You’ll have the occasion to admire some of his major works such as Self-portrait with a Chinese Lantern (1912), Standing Nude with Blue Sheet (1914), Seated Male Nude (1910), Self-portrait (1912) and so on… As many works borrowed to prestigious venues: Leopold Museum (Vienna) – his birthplace holding the greatest collection of his work – Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg and Washington National Gallery of Art…
Go and discover or rediscover this mysterious artist and his paintings filled with body distortion…
