  • Egon Schiele

    Eros and Expressionism

    Egon Schiele’s work is so distinctive that it resists categorisation.

Profoundly convinced of his own significance as an artist, Schiele achieved more in his abruptly curtailed youth than ... Read more

  • Gustave Courbet and artworks

    by Patrick Bade ...
    Ornans, Courbet’s birthplace, is near the beautiful valley of the Doubs River, and it was here as a boy, and later as a man, that he absorbed the love of landscape. He was by nature a revolutionary, a man born to oppose existing order and to assert his independence; he had that quality of bluster and brutality which makes the revolutionary count in art as well as in politics. In both directions ... Read more
