While influenced by his teacher Gustav Klimt , Schiele established his own sharp and distorted style of expression. His distinctive style, which depicts the body and spirit of people through thin lines, rough brushstrokes, and strong contrasts of color, is highly regarded as a representative example of Expressionism.

His portraits reflect his strong interest in themes such as eroticism, life and death, and loneliness. While sometimes using grotesque and unstable expressions, he frankly depicts the fundamental emotions and inner worlds of human beings.

During his lifetime, Schiele was often criticized and oppressed for his radical style, but after his death he was reevaluated as an important painter representing 20th century Expressionism. His works continue to have a great influence on contemporary artists.
