Yesterday in Vienna Husb and I spent most of the day in The Leopold Museum wallowing in Egon Shiele’s art. And other Secession and Expressionist artists. It was an amazing experience.
Husb and I are the sort of people who upset the gallery staff by standing as close as possible to artworks to try and work out how the artist did it. I got told off! I studied this hand, Schiele has drawn in pencil and overlaid with translucent oil glazes. The drawing is clearly visible and enables far more detail than possible with a brush.
Afterwards I did a bit of scribbling at the tram stop; people are too busy with their smartphones to notice me.

Love Vienna and it’s galleries.Spent a long time in the Leopold last December, definitely the one of the best places to see Schiele and drawing. I’m quite envious, enjoy yourself.
It was wonderful. Went and saw the Beethoven Frieze too 🙂
I get too close too – its the only way of knowing what is REALLY there! Great drawings.
Thanks. I loved being there. Inspirational 🙂
I loved Vienna and all its museums and galleries, I hope you are having a fantastic time!
