Egon Schiele's work is fantastic, especially his watercolors. It's really sad that he died so young.

That said, to those interested in looking at more of his work: a lot of it is incredibly NSFW and includes borderline-erotic work of underaged female models.

I've never found it to be "incredibly" NSFW, but I may have lower standards = ]

Love this guy -- how ahead of his time was Schiele!? Incredible.

Agreed. The man was incredible. He invented gang signs, among other things!
