The work covert and discovered history CCLXXXIV (284) - This boy is beautiful - is a mixed media reworking by the artist Günter Konrad of a work originally created in 1910 by Egon Schiele.
Egon Schiele(1890–1918)
Self-Portrait with Striped Shirt (1910)
Black chalk, gouache on paper
44,3 x 30,5 cm
Leopold Museum, Vienna
The idea of the watery eye comes from the film A Clockwork Orange and the make-up of the main actor from the film who portrays Alex de Large. I found it exciting to highlight the view even further.
The decollage elements of the composition are intended to symbolize the complexity of the work's structure and illustrate the feel of the paper work of Schiele's self-portrait.
