Sky Arte airs film on Egon Schiele directed by Dieter Berner

On Wednesday, October 31, Sky Arte will broadcast a film dedicated to Egon Schiele, directed by Dieter Berner and based on the novel by Hilde Berger. Noah Saavedra portrays the Austrian artist, whose centenary of death is commemorated this year. The film explores Schiele's controversial life in early 20th-century Vienna, his role in Austrian Expressionism, and the influence of his sister Gerti and his lover Wally, depicted in his painting "Death and the Maiden." Schiele faced scandals including accusations of abuse and pornography, yet was recognized by collectors and peers like Gustav Klimt. He died at age 28, leaving a vast body of work.
