Most painters will use metaphors or symbols to express the paintings of sexual desire, and throughout the history of artistic development, the Austrian painter Egon Schiller at the end of the nineteenth century is the most straightforward one of these kinds of subjects. His paintings are full of subjective emotions and self-awareness, and he does not shy away from the fact that the pictures are full of erotic elements, and his lust and depiction of human beings are no longer as hidden as those of his predecessors, and he uses an almost violent method to hide the desires and ideas hidden in people's hearts.
Two people had the greatest influence on Egon Schiller's painting art, the first being his mother. Schiller's mother, a middle-class woman, lived a monastic life with her husband under the influence of nineteenth-century hypocritical morality, which caused Schiller's father to linger in pornography and eventually contracted the disease and died.
After the death of several of her own babies and the death of her husband, the mother who was infected with her husband became very manic and extremely indifferent to Schiller, and could even be said to be a disgust. For Schiller, his mother was the first woman in his life, and this fearful and indifferent relationship with his mother deeply affected Schiller's attitude and view of women in the future, which became an important reason why Schiller always studied sex and life on the screen.
The second person who had a great influence on Schiller was his teacher, Gustav Klimt, a prominent Austrian artist of Schiller's contemporary, a representative of Secession art. Klimt's works are soft lines, bright and bright colors, with a slight geometric style in shape, while using gold and silver materials in painting, with a psychedelic meaning. After meeting Klimt, Schiller's female subjects were clearly influenced by him, from content to form, and many of their works were inextricably linked.
In the nineteenth century, during the period of change in Europe, Vienna's prosperity was replaced by turmoil and decadence, when the pornography industry was very developed, and this social atmosphere provided Schiller with a large number of materials and models for creating female love and themes. He often took in men and women who had nothing to do in his studio, trading as models for himself.
Schiller's many works on female subjects touched the bottom line of traditional female aesthetics, and his female nude works were labeled as "erotic paintings" as soon as they came out, becoming outliers in the field of art, and even a number of nude paintings that were considered to have erotic tendencies were detained by the police, and he himself was arrested for the crime of seducing teenagers.
【Conclusion】
"Erotic works that present a distinctly artistic nature will not be filthy, and only if the viewer thinks that they are filthy, these works will become obscene." Schiller, who was only 28 years old at the time of his death, spent his life depicting the terrifying power of human instincts, exploring the most authentic side of human nature, and showing his understanding of life instincts.
