I’ve always loved Schiele’s work, especially his extraordinary line quality. As an artist who works directly with the body through body prints, I’m fascinated by his struggle to recognize himself in his own physical form. The body can be both intimately ours and strangely foreign...

In my own practice, I’m interested in what happens when the body leaves an imprint behind, what remains, what disappears, and what we project onto that trace. “I paint the wanting” resonates for sure. Sometimes we aren’t simply making images of the body. We’re trying to understand what it means to inhabit one.

I think the article is perfect for someone with your fascinating job. What you’ve seen in your work kind of confirms the way we tried to portray Schiele as you very well put it: not trying to picture it, but trying to inhabit one

I had never heard of Egon Schiele’s story before, but this was such an interesting and moving introduction to his life and work. I really enjoyed the diary format—it made the story feel very personal and brought his paintings to life in a completely different way.

Diese Geschichte hat mich sofort für den Moment den Alltag vergessen lassen.

Ich glaube mit jedem Wort, das es von Egon Schiele selbst sein könnte. Wie ein Fiebertraum.

Danke dafür.
