Untitled is a 1909 oil by Egon Schiele, a Art Nouveau work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a woman standing sideways, her body turned slightly away from us. Her dress is dark with a patterned apron over it, and her hair is pulled back under a head covering. The colors are mostly browns and blacks, with bright patches of red and green at her feet. The figure looks stiff and angular, with sharp edges that don’t quite match real anatomy. The paint is thick in some spots, almost like it was scraped on. This isn’t meant to look realistic—it’s more about shapes and mood. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Egon Leo Adolf Ludwig Schiele (German: ; 12 June 1890 – 31 October 1918) was an Austrian Expressionist painter.
