| Egon Schiele, Standing Nude with Stockings, 1914 |
Schiele's forensic and unflinching drawings of male and female bodies executed in a fluent yet seemingly neurotic line and touched, or washed, with sickly colour can still shock a century after they were made. As Laura Cumming observes: they are beautiful and horrifying in equal measure. Shocking, too, is the realisation that no works by Schiele are to be found in British public collections - which makes this exhibition all the more exciting.
Read reviews by Alastair Sooke, Waldemar Januszczak, Jackie Wullschlager, Jonathan Jones, and Laura Cumming (at the end of her piece on Moroni).
