Curator's Concluding Lecture

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. This lecture, presented upon the conclusion of “Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes,” 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. Curator Christian Bauer will reflect on the exhibition and provide an outlook of other topics that will bring new insights into this gifted artist, who died too young more than 100 years ago.
