I’d never heard of Schiele until yesterday when I was reading about an actor on a show I was watching. I’m not really an art buff but his work is quite interesting (if a bit disturbing at times).

So let's be clear: it's implicitly incest, right? One denial in this article aside, he appears to have encouraged if not caused his younger sisters eroticism as a pre teen, took her away to share a room in the hotel his parents honeymooned in, changed his art after entering a relationship. Nobody knows who the child's father is, fair enough. His pre marriage art was unquestionably "edgy"

Amazing paintings. Also, amazingly disturbing. I cannot conceive of having one on the wall.
