The exhibition brings together an outstanding selection of Egon Schiele’s nudes to chart his ground-breaking approach during his short but urgent career. This is the first ever museum show in the UK devoted entirely to the artist. It explores one of Schiele’s most vital and original subjects – his extraordinary drawings and watercolours of male and female nudes.
Schiele’s technical virtuosity, highly original vision and unflinching depictions of the naked figure distinguish these works as being among his most significant contributions to the development of modern art.
This sharply focused exhibition will be a major opportunity to see more than thirty of these radical works assembled from international public and private collections.
