The reputation of Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele is based primarily on his portraits, self-portraits, and erotic images, which earned him a reputation as the enfant terrible of the Klimt circle. Yet during his brief and turbulent career, Schiele also emerged as a prolific landscape painter, creating more such pictures than his more famous figural works. Schiele’s landscapes and cityscapes are infused with melancholy, which critics attributed to the artist's deep appreciation for the Gothic period. Join us for a curator-led tour of the special exhibition “Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes.” This is an opportunity to see seminal works by the artist and learn more about Schiele and his influences.

This curator-led tour, presented on-site at Neue Galerie New York, is organized in conjunction with “The World of Schiele's Landscapes,” an online course by Roundtable by the 92nd Street Y New York. The course features a series of three online lectures by Megan Brandow-Faller, exploring the broader artistic and cultural milieu surrounding Schiele, his training in Secessionist Vienna, his relationship to the applied arts, and his close ties with key patrons as well as his promotional self-posturing.
