Egon Schiele. Beyond taboos

“Egon Schiele. Beyond Taboo” tells about what formed the inner world of the artist. So we visit decadent Vienna and Prague bathed in Art Nouveau, from which he fled to the province, we end up in Cesky Krumlov or Austrian Neulengbach, where he humiliated the provinces. We learn about complicated relationships with women: a fascination with Gerti's sister, a passionate relationship with muse Valerie Neuzil, a long-distance marriage with Edith Harms. One of the key heroines of this biography is also the mother, indifferent to the talent of her son. “I painted to be seen,” Schiele noted.
