Sunflowers II, 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by Austrian artist Egon Schiele. This vibrant and expressive painting, measuring 90x81 cm, showcases the artist's unique style and his ability to capture the essence of nature. Originally part of the collection at Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna, this artwork was returned to the heirs of its pre-World War II owner as part of a restitution process. It subsequently fetched an astounding price of 21.5 million US dollars when sold at auction. Schiele's work is often associated with Austrian expressionism and abstraction, evident in "Sunflowers II". The bold brushstrokes and vivid colors create a sense of movement and intensity within the composition. The sunflowers themselves are rendered with intricate detail, their petals radiating warmth and energy. This painting not only represents Schiele's artistic genius but also carries historical significance due to its journey from being confiscated during World War II to finally finding its way back into private hands through restitution efforts. As we admire "Sunflowers II" we are reminded not only of Schiele's talent but also of the complex stories that can be woven into works of art throughout history. This particular piece serves as a testament to resilience, justice, and the enduring power of artistic expression.
