Description: Standing Girl Gerti Schiele in Plaid Garment, Offset Lithograph, Egon Schiele Standing Girl (painted 1910) is the largest known drawing from Egon Schiele’s short but prolific career (1890-1918). His life played out against the backdrop of Sigmund Freud’s studies of the mind and intense debates about the treatment of human sexuality in the arts. Characteristic of early twentieth-century Viennese art, this provocative sheet—actually brown wrapping paper—epitomizes the era’s decorative ornamentation and decadent eroticism. Schiele's drawing of his sister, Gerti contours, at once graceful and awkward, create a momentary confusion between bodily mass and negative space, laying open the mysterious relationship between inward and outward realities. Her clawlike hands against her virginal, downcast eyes, Schiele struck a balance between corruption and purity. Provenance: Joseph Urban, New York (before d. 1932; sold to Kallir); [Dr. Otto Kallir, Galerie St. Etienne, New York, until 1969; sold to Mia, 1969. Painting is Not On View at The Minneapolis of Art.
