Curator's Opening Night Lecture

Christian Bauer, Exhibition Curator

Reflections of nature play a significant role in Egon Schiele’s work. In fact, landscapes, which 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.
