in a few weeks i will be visiting the royal academy in london to see an exhibition which includes pieces by Egon Schiele. Ive never seen one 'in the flesh' so i am very excited. I think they're the most beautiful images, line quality, use of colour - to me they are perfect works of art, and the fact that some of their subject matter makes some people slightly uncomfortable (i think) makes them even better..

oh and Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Goya, Manet, Monet, Schiele, Gauguin and Picasso are there too..

above> embrace 1917

sidenote: a visit to Austria to see his museum?
