My favourite artists

I’ve already talk about my favourite artist last year: Frida Kahlo, so I will refer to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Egon Schiele now. They are the others artists who I like most because their paintings has a particular style.
They both lived at the same time, end of the ninety century and beginning of the twenty century. That was a time very special for all artists, because was when all the important changes in arts began.

Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter, printmaker and illustrator who recorded the exciting modern life of Paris at ending of century. He is known as one of the famous painters of post-impressionist, along with Cézanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh.
His works, has a colorful expression with brushstroke an energetic and nervous brushstroke, characteristic of post-impressionist painters. His main works are works relating with the Montmartre neighborhood and with the cabaret Moulin Rouge, where always he painted the people who going to the place, who worked there and with whom he lived.

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter, an apprentice of Gustav Klimt. He, with Klimt and Kokoschka are the greatest painters of austrian expressionism. More than anything, he painted self portraits and female bodies with a twisted form and expressive and very intense line, and he played with expressions of colors of subtle combinations. His works is associated with the sensuality and the human existential pain.
They both had a hard life, with many diseases and poverty, but maybe because how they lived, they could create these beautiful lines and forms.

I never think about them people like the bohemian, 'cause I think the geometric bohemian is the future.
