Egon Schiele


Portrait of the Painter Anton Peschka, 1909 P.C.

Although Schiele's 1909 paintings and Drawings are obviously indebted to Klimt, they also provide the first evidence of the artist's individual creative persona.
His nascent direction can be documented in three important portraits from this period: two of them depicting academy classmates , Anton Peschka and Hans Massmann.
Both the Peschka and Massmann portraits are clear take-offs on Klimt if one can call it that!
They make similar use of decorative patterning , while exaggerating the off-center, triangular silhouettes seen in Klimt's painting's of Adele Bloch-Bauer and Fritza Riedler.
