EDITORS COMMENTS
Self Seers II (Death and Man), 1911" is a captivating painting by Egon Schiele, one of the most influential artists of the early 20th century. This thought-provoking artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the Leopold Museum in Vienna. In this striking piece, Schiele explores profound themes such as death, transience, and human existence. The artist's mastery of art nouveau style is evident through his use of bold lines and vibrant colors that create a sense of both beauty and melancholy. The painting depicts two figures intertwined - Death personified on the left and Man on the right. Death gazes directly at us with hollow eyes while holding an hourglass, symbolizing our limited time on Earth. Meanwhile, Man appears introspective and sorrowful, contemplating his mortality. Schiele skillfully incorporates elements from mythology, allegory, literature into this composition to convey deeper meaning. Through his brushstrokes, he invites viewers to reflect upon life's fleeting nature and embrace their own mortality. This masterpiece exemplifies Schiele's unique artistic vision within the context of Jugendstil or Art Nouveau movement prevalent during that era. It serves as a poignant reminder for us to appreciate every moment we have in this transient world. Manfred Thumberger has captured this remarkable print with great attention to detail while preserving its emotional impact. His fine art images allow us to experience Schiele's profound work wherever we may be.
