His work is quickly recognized for its intense visceral nature. Schiele's paintings often used twisted body shapes and expressive lines which exhibit the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism. His unique style continues to draw the attention from freethinkers everywhere. His expressions of quasi-eroticism in much of his artwork has demonstrated his easily recognizable style. His artwork is highly collectible and increasingly valuable.
