A WEEKEND WITH EGON SCHIELE

Join us October 17-21, 2024 for a weekend of celebratory programs in conjunction with the opening of the new special exhibition, “Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes.” From activities for young children and teens to lectures and panel discussions, there is something for everyone!

LECTURE

"EGON SCHIELE: LIVING LANDSCAPES"

Christian Bauer, Exhibition Curator

Reflections of nature play a significant role in Egon Schiele’s work. In fact, landscapes comprise the largest group in his oeuvre overall. The lecture explores the different meanings of landscapes and cityscapes in Schiele's work, highlighting their connections to his portraits and self-portraits. In this process, Schiele intertwines the landscape with the human being and vice versa, a theme that pervades nearly all phases of his career.

Thursday, October 17, 6:30 P.M.

FILM SCREENING

EGON SCHIELE: DANGEROUS DESIRES

Directed by Teresa Griffiths (2018). English. 59 mins.

The film tells the dramatic story of Egon Schiele in his own words, using original letters and writings, many of them translated for the first time. With contributions from scholars, collectors, artists, and performers, the film both celebrates Schiele’s remarkable artistic achievements and investigates the controversies around his work.
