- Leopold Museum - Leopold Museum is the best place in Vienna to see the most scandalous works of arts ever created in Vienna and understand the principle of the nowness of art. Leopold Museum features a permanent exhibition of Egon Schiele’s works aside from temporary expositions, and it is considered that Shiele’s exhibitionist works are still capable of inciting dubious reactions since many themes he covered in his pieces, such as the line between pornography and art, still cause heated discussions nowadays.
- Guided tour by a professional art historian
- Admission to the Leopold Museum included
Situated in the Museum Quarter, the Leopold Museum houses the most extensive array of pieces from this Viennese expressionist. In this brief overview, we’ll tackle challenging themes in 20th-century art, such as the fine line between art and pornography, the importance of the artist’s character in interpreting their art, and the objective and subjective worth of art.
Our exploration will be limited to the elements of the artist’s life story that visibly influence his work. We’ll primarily focus on the interpretation strategies relevant to 20th century art. We’ll delve into distinguishing art from pornography, debate the boundaries of personal expression, and contemplate the societal effects of ‘controversial’ artwork.
To provide context for contentious pieces, we’ll refer to art therapy practices, Sigmund Freud’s works, and one tale from Scheherazade. This tour offers valuable insight for enthusiasts of Viennese Art Nouveau and those eager to understand 20th-century art.
