The exhibition “Times of upheaval. Egon Schiele’s final years: 1914-1918” interweaves biographical and artistic elements and deals with the ruptures and changes in Schiele’s ‘late work’ from 1914 to 1918, to which less attention has been paid to date. Schiele gradually abandoned the radical formal experiments of the years 1910 to 1914 and developed a more realistic style, which was characterized by deeper empathy. His strokes calmed down, became more flowing and organic, and the sitters gained in physical fullness. The exhibition also provides new insights into this decisive period through the interweaving of contemporary archive material, such as Edith Schiele’s previously unpublished diary.
