October 2018 marks 100 years since the death of Egon Schiele (12 June 1890 – 31 October 1918)
25 September 2018
When Austrian artist Egon Schiele died of Spanish flu in 1918, he left behind an incredible body of work. At times explicit, grotesque and twisted, his art is defined by its brutality and its honesty. akg-images has an impressive collection of paintings and drawings by Schiele, including many of his stunning portraits and self-portraits.
akg-images illustrate the history of world culture through an iconographic collection which spans archaeology and history through to performing arts, fine art and photography.
