Being Embraced; Umarmende, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Egon Schiele is a captivating black crayon on paper artwork that beautifully captures the essence of human connection and intimacy. In this early twentieth-century piece, Schiele skillfully portrays a couple locked in an embrace, their arms tightly wrapped around each other. The artist's distinctive style is evident in his use of bold lines and expressive strokes, which add depth and emotion to the composition. The figures are depicted with raw vulnerability, as they gaze away from the viewer, lost in their own world of affection. Schiele's attention to detail is remarkable; he meticulously renders the texture of their skin and intricately depicts every strand of hair. The woman's hair is elegantly styled up while she sits on the floor, leaning against her partner who tenderly holds her. This Austrian painter was known for pushing boundaries with his provocative subject matter and unconventional artistic techniques. "Being Embraced; Umarmende" showcases Schiele's ability to capture both physical closeness and emotional intensity through his art. As we observe this intimate moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the power of human touch and how it can provide solace amidst chaos. This artwork serves as a testament to love's ability to transcend societal norms and bring comfort even during tumultuous times.
