Our next project is titled ‘Facade’ and it is influence by the Egon Schiele painting in the Belvedere in Vienna. I have added a photo of the painting and a detail. Here are some additional notes that were included in notes in the gallery about the painting


‘ How can you represent the colors and structures of old walls? Leonardo da Vinci had already urged his students to seek inspiration from this subject. And from an early stage Schiele was also interested in this motif. He was enchanted by the houses in the Bohemian town of Cesky Krumlov (Krumau) where he would retreat to paint. Schiele used a medium that resembled the plaster on a genuine facade thereby enhancing the textural effect. ‘ ( Notes, Belvedere Gallery). I also add a very beautiful Edward Hopper picture about this theme.

Please note : owing to the difficult lighting conditions in the hall and reflections from glass etc, the quality of some of the photographs is unfortunately a bit mixed but hopefully good enough to give you a good enough view of the exhibition.
