Egon Schiele, a talented painter who bravely defended human body art and challenged traditional ideas.

-Appreciation of the film Egon Schiele: Death and Maiden.

On June 25th, the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival came to a successful conclusion! The movie "Egon Schiele: Death and Girl" made people think deeply about body art. In the18th century, the society rejected body art, but there were people who appreciated it. Egon Schiele's miserable childhood didn't bury him, and even inspired him to bravely defend body art with actions. Not only did he let his underage sister and sister flower lovers be his own mannequins, but he was not afraid even in the face of clumsy and aggressive judges. He protested: "As an artist, I have the responsibility to defend the freedom of art, and only ignorant people will question my works of art." And claimed that his works would be put in the largest museum in the world!

Throughout the history of art, many outstanding painters died young. Van Gogh died at 37, Ma Saqiao at 27, Raphael at 37 and Caravaggio at 38.

The film recommended by Li today also tells the story of a painter who died young. It's—

Egon Schiele: Death and Maiden.

Egon Schiele: Today and tomorrow? dchen

Egon Schiele is the most important expressionist painter in the 20th century and one of the most controversial artists.

1890 was born in Austria, and his father was the stationmaster of the National Railway Administration.

When Schiller/Kloc-was 0/5 years old, his father died of syphilis, and then all his possessions were burned down by him.

In the later life journey, Schiller often thought of his father, and the confused and painful image always frightened him.

Perhaps because of his childhood experience, Schiller began to explore the crazy and morbid inner world behind each character with a brush.

Schiller when he was young was simply synonymous with "genius".

16 years old, admitted to Vienna Art Institute.

But later, because he was dissatisfied with the rules and regulations of the school, Schiller chose to drop out of school after three years.

Later, he and several classmates founded a club called "New Artists Group".

In the film, he constantly emphasizes terminology, abandons "new art" and highlights the artist's personality, which is the direction he has been striving for.

For artists, finding spiritual muses is a lifelong task.

In this film, * * * shows four beautiful women who appeared in Egon Schiele's life, and they all had a great influence on Schiller's creation, so they can be called his muses.

The first muse was Schiller's sister Gertie.

/kloc-Before the age of 0/6, my sister was always a mannequin for my brother Schiller.

Good looks and graceful figure are enough to qualify her for this role.

The second muse is the stage actor Moa.

At Schiller's invitation, all male artists came to his residence with great interest and made mannequins for him.

In order to show her art, the girl often jumps around the town.

The secular world greatly despises this, but in the artist's view, it is something with vitality.

The third muse is the female model Wally.

Schiller and Wally became more and more chatting friends because of their working relationship, and finally slowly began to live together.

They found a poetry studio in New Leimbach near Vienna.

However, Schiller was accused of seducing a young girl.

The media began to lash out at him, and the words "pedophile" and "sex maniac" flooded the main pages of the newspaper.

In contrast, Schiller's exhibition was a great success, and all kinds of praise flew like snowflakes, which was gratifying.

The case ended in Schiller's kidnapping of minors, but he was found guilty of using minors for pornographic display.

Moreover, the judge took out a Schiller painting and asked it to be destroyed in class.

In this regard, Schiller certainly refused.

The most precious thing in any art is freedom.

Facing the real world, artists of every era often need to have an essential conflict with the current morality or law.

Those advanced and avant-garde ideas are always hard to understand, but the truth is often here.

Schiller protested in court, "As an artist, I have the responsibility to defend the freedom of art, and only ignorant people will question my works of art."

But the judge ignored all this and destroyed the painting in front of everyone.

After that, Schiller met the Hans sisters Edith and Aadilah who lived opposite the studio.

He still finds a girl to create art from time to time, and his elegant manners and the charming temperament of artists attract them.

They mixed together to play billiards, watch movies and have snowball fights. Are they happy?

But happy times are always short-lived. At the beginning of World War I, Schiller was drafted into the army.

After that, he will serve in Prague.

At the same time, he is going to marry Edith, the more lively of the two sisters, while Wally, who has always loved Schiller, has been abandoned by Schiller.

Schiller, who came home from the battlefield, wanted to paint enthusiastically, so he took his wife as the object of creation.

In this way, Edith became Schiller's fourth muse.

But Edith is a man of his own mind.

Not only did she not want Schiller to paint herself, but she also asked him to change careers.

This is of course difficult to understand for Schiller, who is art-oriented, so it is another fierce quarrel.

Wally, who left Schiller, went to the battlefield to become a health worker and later died of scarlet fever infection.

Schiller was filled with emotion when he learned of Wally's death.

He was thinking that maybe Wally's death was because of himself.

So, before the start of his exhibition, he renamed this painting "Men and Girls" as "Death and Girls" to commemorate the trace left by the muse in his life.

19 18, Schiller's wife caught the flu and died unfortunately.

Schiller died with his wife three days after her death at the age of 28.

A painting superstar has fallen, and an unruly and talented artist has made a curtain call.

Looking at the whole movie, this is a very good movie.

From the woman kneeling on the movie poster to the death and girl at the end of the movie.

Wally is indeed the most colorful stroke in his life, a spiritual muse.

In the end, Egon Schiele died and drew a poetic and perfect rest for himself.

In his short life, he overcame many pains in life and devoted his love and life to art.

Schiller's last words remain defiant and pretentious.

I'm dying, but the greatest museum in the world will collect my paintings.

Li wants to say that this is what artists should look like.
