Klimt / Schiele
To coincide with the exhibition 'Klimt / Schiele', join us for a screening of the 2016 Austrian / Luxembourgish biographical film, 'Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden'.
Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden follows the life of one of the most provocative Viennese artist at the turn of the century. The film, named after the famous painting in which Schiele immortalized his muse and lover Walburga (Wally) Neuzil, looks at the artist’s life, driven by beautiful women and an era that ended with the outbreak of the First World War.
The introduction to this event will be spoken with BSL interpretation. The feature film will include captions.
