Oil on canvas24940Withered and parched, the brown leaves droop. Large flower heads gaze feebly at their young blooms below, but even these small fresh blossoms cannot halt the decay. Like Gustav Klimt, Schiele’s penchant for sunflowers was probably inspired by Vincent van Gogh. However, the young painter radically departed from Klimt’s decorative legacy. Instead, Schiele’s expressive works are full of contortions, distortions, and deformations. Even individual sunflowers become a reflection of spiritual turmoil and a symbol of all that is transient. “I am human. I love death and I love life,” Schiele once declared.Painting110497278294image/jpegPublic Domainhttps://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/Foto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/110724/fullhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-8294/manifest
