Expressionism is a term, applied to modern art of German-speaking countries at the beginning of the 20th century. The term expressionist can also be used as a characteristic description for many works of art, including the works of the Viennese painter Egon Schiele, which is the main subject of my diploma studies and analysis. Despite the fact that his works of art were extremely advanced and controversial at the time, he left great achievements in modern art. His work was influenced by many different factors, such as the development of psychology, the First World War, connections with other artists and events in his private life. His oeuvre consists of self-portraits, portraits, nudes and landscapes. Schiele left a great influence on art and beacuse of that, his influence is also visible in my works and in my own artistic development.
The first part of the thesis is theoretical and intended for analysis and research. The second part of the diploma thesis is practical and contains research through creating works of art based on previously researched theory.
