"In his short life [..] Egon Schiele created an oeuvre that was both symptomatic of its time, as well as groundbreaking, making him one of the most formative and dazzling figures of Viennese Modernism." Quoted from: Leopold Museum, www.leopoldmuseum.org/de/sammlung/egon-schiele.
Studie eines sitzenden Mannes (Max Oppenheimer) . 1910. Watercolor, India ink and charcoal. Kallir 589. Lower left monogrammed "S", lower right monogrammed "S" and dated. With the estate stamp on the reverse. On brownish paper. 36.5 x 31.5 cm (14.3 x 12.4 in), the full sheet. [JS]. • One of a total of three pictorially executed watercolors of his artist friend Max Oppenheimer wearing a black tailcoat, which Schiele made in 1910. • Through the contact with Oppenheimer, Schiele"s work made the pivotal turn from Art Nouveau to Expressionism. • In the works from this series, Schiele attained an expressive strength that is unmatched in his portraits of gentlemen, and is only surpassed by his famous self-portraits. • Of radical modernity: owing to the close-up image section, the eccentric pose, the reduced colors and the unusual perspective.
