Egon Schiele (1890-1918) after - Kastanienbaum am Bodensee

This rare print of Egon Schiele’s “Kastanienbaum am Bodensee,” (“Chestnut tree at Lake Constance”) is a remarkable example of the artist’s signature style. It is part of a small edition printed in Vienna by the Austrian state printing house (Staatsdruckerei Österreich) on high-quality paper in 1951. The print is signed in the plate: “Egon Schiele 1912.” This rare print, which demonstrates Schiele's characteristic style, is very well preserved after all these years. It has never been framed and has been stored for the 70+ years since it was printed. Please see pictures for details about its exact condition. From a private collection in Austria. This artwork is very difficult to find, as most examples are now held in institutions or private collections. Prints from this series have been sold for over €1500 on Catawiki. Please note: this is an original phototype from 1951, not a later reproduction or giclée print, which are far more common. International shipping with tracking and insurance. Will be packed very carefully and securely (see reviews). The printing process is of the highest quality and can almost be compared to the original. Today, there are only 3 printers in the whole world that use this. The colour picture is divided - from light to dark - into up to 25 colours and then printed on top of each other in as many print cycles. This technique was mainly used in small editions. Egon Schiele (June 12, 1890 – October 31, 1918) was an Austrian painter. Schiele was a protégé of Gustav Klimt and a significant figurative painter during the early 20th century. His work is known for its intensity and raw sexuality, and the many self-portraits the artist made. The contorted body forms and expressive lines that characterize Schiele’s works mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism.
