The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?His nudes - often his own body, twisted and raw - made early 20th-century Vienna flinch. Egon Schiele painted sexuality and psychological unease with a line so direct it still feels intrusive.

Born in Austria in 1890, Schiele found his sharpest influence in Gustav Klimt, who mentored the younger artist as he broke from decorative tradition. What emerged was Expressionism at its most uncomfortable: contorted figures, unsparing self-portraits, an intensity that turned the body into a site of exposure rather than beauty. His drawings and paintings carried a psychological rawness and explicit sexuality that marked him as singular. He died at twenty-eight on 31 October 1918, leaving a body of work that remains difficult to look away from.
