A rare glimpse into the promotional artistry of Egon Schiele, Plakat der Schiele-Ausstellung in der Galerie Arnot (1915) is a striking exhibition poster that showcases the raw intensity and avant-garde spirit of Schiele’s work. Created for his solo show at the Galerie Arnot in Vienna, this poster is not just a piece of advertising but a testament to Schiele’s unmistakable style and vision.
The composition is bold and minimalist, featuring a self-portrait that captures Schiele’s signature elongated forms, angular lines, and penetrating gaze. His skeletal hands, twisted in expressive tension, add an air of unease and psychological depth. The stark, almost unfinished quality of the piece speaks to Schiele’s radical departure from traditional portraiture, emphasizing the emotional and existential over the aesthetic.
Reproduced as a fine art print, this piece allows you to own a part of art history—a poster that once promoted Schiele’s work during his lifetime and now stands as an artwork in its own right. Perfect for Expressionism lovers, collectors of early 20th-century art, and those drawn to Schiele’s unfiltered, deeply personal style.
