SCHIELE, Egon: Lovemaking

🖼 Lovemaking, 1915
Gouache and pencil
496 × 317 cm
Vienna, Austria

Intertwined nude figures writhe in urgent, contorted poses rendered with raw, expressionistic brushwork. Schiele's radical intimacy challenged Austrian prudishness, capturing desire's psychological intensity rather than romanticized beauty.
