• Egon Schielle



    Nude Girl with folded arms ( Gertrude Schiele ). 1910 Albertina Vienna

    Like Minne's nude boy. Schiele's sister clasps her arms tightly across her chest,
    modestly protecting her naked torso even as she exposes her genitalia to public scrutiny.
    For both artist's, as for Kokoschka, the adolescent body was a perfect vessel for sexual ambivalence.
