488231 Portrait of Paris von G羹tersloh, 1918 (oil on canvas) by Schiele, Egon (1890-1918); 140.02 x 110.33 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: Due to Schiele\'s death from an influenza epidemic in 1918, he never completed this painting of his friend Paris von G羹tersloh (1887-1973). Nonetheless, it remains a masterpiece of Austrian Expressionist portraiture. G羹tersloh was a painter, writer, actor, producer, and stage designer, who wrote the first study of Schiele\'s art in 1911. Schiele admired his friend\'s extraordinary intellectual and artistic talents and sought to portray him as a creative genius. With his hands elevated in a gesture of both attraction and repulsion, G羹tersloh is shown with his eyes transfixed and body tense at the moment of artistic inspiration.); 穢 Minneapolis Institute of Art; Gift of the P.
