Egon Schiele and Francesca Woodman in Dialogue at Tate Liverpool
Tate Liverpool presents "Life in Motion: Egon Schiele / Francesca Woodman" from May 24 to September 23, 2018, marking a decade after its Gustav Klimt exhibition. The show pairs the Austrian Expressionist's drawings—many rarely seen in Northern England—with the American photographer's work, exploring how both artists capture the human body in motion. Schiele used rapid lines to convey energy, while Woodman employed long exposures for blurred, surreal effects. The exhibition coincides with the centenary of Schiele's death.
