Egon Schiele Lovemaking 1915 Expressionist Figurative Art Print

There is a restless, vibrating energy found in the tangled limbs and jagged contours of early 20th-century Viennese art. This print captures the raw emotional intensity of the 1915 original, rendered with the artist’s signature nervous linework and a muted, earthy color palette.

About Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele (1890–1918) was an Austrian Expressionist and a protégé of Gustav Klimt. Schiele’s angular, nervous line and twisted poses made his figures raw and psychologically intense. Expressionist art uses distorted forms and intense colour to show inner feeling. The original dates from 1915. Groups such as Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter shaped Expressionism before the First World War.

Styling this Egon Schiele print

The expressionist style and yellow and green palette of this Egon Schiele print feel at home in modern and traditional interiors alike. In a study or living room, “Lovemaking” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. Finish “Lovemaking” with a black or antique-gold frame: its yellow and green palette warms up grey or white walls and suits natural wood and brass accents.
