egon

A few Egon Schiele studies, paying specific attention to the treatment of negative space. Interesting the way the figures carve up the canvas by touching or going beyond the edges. Also, they sometimes rest on an absent surface. What would you call that? – a negative space in the image but representing a postive space in the scene before the artist – that he has chosen not to include. I’m a fan of the colours used – yellows, oranges, greens, blues.
