As much as I liked the Exhibition, Schiele was very much of his time and thus I found my visit to the 'Catching Dreams' Exhibition at the South Bank Centre to be more pertinent to me.

Visit to ... Egon Schiele : The Radical Nude November 2014
A couple of weeks ago, I visited the 'Radical Nude' Exhibition displaying the work of Egon Schiele at Somerset House. Egon Schiele is one my favourite artists, for he produced some of the most radical depiction of the human figure created in modern times. What intrigues me most about Schiele's work is his varying style in depicting the body; he goes from a very flat and linear quality to a detailed and tonal depiction. In terms of content, I love the way in which Schiele challenged conventions with his 'unflinching and highly original approach, reinvesting the subject of the nude with new energy and purpose.'
