At first when I started looking up Schiele's work I was really caught off guard. Some of his images are so disturbing that it takes a few seconds to fully process them and understand what is going on. The three images I chose are actually not his most shocking, but I thought they displayed his style nicely. I think his style alone is dramatic and catches your attention regardless of the subject matter and that is what I liked the most about his work. In the female nude, Schiele's use of mostly line and minimal color work really well together. Some of his images are painful and it is very obvious from the expressions he puts on his models. His awkward poses and hard lined faces do such a great job at conveying emotion. The figures may be awkward but you can see a sense of body and form in them that makes it hard to deny that it is a human figure. Schiele's work is interesting because it provokes questions and leaves you with an immediate opinion, whether it be good or bad.
