The drawings of Egon Schiele hold an erotic yet elegant quality. The use of negative space isolates the figures and perhaps suggest the female has been abandoned. The composition feels sexual; the perspective emphasised with the females legs spread open and the distorted and elongated limbs add a quirkyness and elegance.
I really like Schiele's use of line. To me, it is cutting yet organic suggesting an influence of Art Nouveau. A sense of form is created through continuous line making the drawing confident and definate.
