Google Egon Schiele

Jay told me about this painter when he got back from budapest, and today i have seen schiele's work in all its vicious glory. his work is quite unlike any artist of his time. bearing closest to his friend and mentor klimpt. worth looking up i think. but much more powerful in person, so i suggest taking a trip to vienna where most of his work is kept.

i always pose the question, when i consider buying something or other, 'could i live without this?' and most often i resolve that in fact, my life would be no different were i to make such and such purchase. today however i decided that i absolutely needed to continue with my life a book of egon schiele´s work, and a temporary tattoo. if you value my existence at all, you should thank me for making such a prudent decision.

seriously we are in art museums about 7 hours a day. that is hard work. hard work.

there is a free horror film festival in a carnival on the edge of town. tomorrow night we´re going to go see jaws.

I followed your instructions, and googled Mr. Schiele. I really like "Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up." At least that's the English title - I don't know what the actual one is.
