Vienna, Austria. Home of Schiele…..but not on a tuesday.
Did I ever tell you the story of how the Maccabees and I are soulmates? It goes: The Maccabees and I are soulmates.
This is my favorite Schiele. Besides the self-portraits, obviously. They’re in a league of their own.
And once again, thank you, Vienna, for doing so much for my taste in art.
I exist for myself, and for those to
whom my unquenchable thirst for
freedom gives everything, but also
for everyone, since insofar as I am able
to love - I love everyone. Of noble
hearts, I am the noblest - and the most
generous of those that yearn to give
love in return. - I am a human being,
I love death and I love life.-Egon Schiele

Self-portrait, 1912.
Your regular 22-year-old.
Do not ever leave Vienna without visiting the Leopold Museum. It bathes in the glory that is Schiele.
