Another week exploring Seminal Works. This week our three hosts, Keith Vincent, John Holt, and Mary Varn are joined again by Adam Moerder. Fair warning, we get a little loopy on this one (maybe it was the heat).

Segment 1: Egon Schiele (Austrian Artist- Deceased) 

Mary Varn (@maryvarn) has us take a look at an extremely influential painter from the turn-of-century (1900's). Extremely popular and controversial in his time, his work has widespread impact across all forms of visual media. Egon Schiele was a protege of Klimt. He was only 28 years old when he died, having already reached some success.

 

 

 

 

Here are some examples of comic artists and animation influenced by Schiele:

Ted McKeever- 

 

Peter Chung- 

 

You can find galleries of his work and information about Egon Schiele HERE.
