"I'll stop loving you only when a deaf painter

manages to paint the noise of a rose petal

falling on a glass floor of a castle never existed..."

Egon Schiele | Quotes / Le lettere

• Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.
• Bodies have their own light which they consume to live: they burn, they are not lit from the outside.
• I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds.
• At present, I am mainly observing the physical motion of mountains, water, trees and flowers. One is everywhere reminded of similar movements in the human body, of similar impulses of joy and suffering in plants...
• I was in love with everything- I wanted to look with love at the angry people so that their eyes would be forced to respond; and I wanted to bring gifts to the envious and tell them that I am worthless.

Egon Schiele | Expressionist painter

Egon Schiele, (1890, Tulln, near Vienna - 1918, Vienna), Austrian Expressionist painter, draftsman and printmaker noted for the eroticism of his figurative works.

As a student at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (1907-09), Schiele was strongly influenced by the Jugendstil movement, the German Art Nouveau.

He met Gustav Klimt, leader of the Vienna Sezession group, and the linearity and subtlety of Schiele’s work owe much to Klimt’s decorative elegance.
