SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture -by Gautam Shah

Egon Schiele (1890-1918), was one of the most prolific Austrian artists, who in a short life of 28 years, produced more than 3000 works. Schiele from young age was fond of drawing trains from his station master father’s house. At the age of 16, he moved to Vienna to study at the Academy of Fine Arts. Here, Gustav Klimt who had formed the Vienna Secession, became his mentor. Schiele, remained close friends but moved away from Klimt’s ‘ornate Art Nouveau and developed own Expressionist style. This was a stark, raw and deeply emotional expression drawn with a darker palette. This post presents his studies and sketches.

Dora Lynnell Wilson (1883-1946), was a British-born, Australian artist. Dora was educated at National Gallery School (1901-06). She was best known for the street scenes of Melbourne and other places in Europe. 1930s she focussed on historical scenes from Melbourne's history, forming an exhibition entitled 'Milestones of Melbourne'.

Dora was an Impressionist & Modernist painter. She had fresh and 'strong sense of colour' but was criticized showing a 'chocolate box prettiness’. She experimented with drawing people, buildings, and some ‘accidental’ effects of light and shade. Her avoidance of Black helped to create a comforting atmosphere.
