Erwin Osen: Egon Schiele’s artist friend as a fascinating
discovery As the charismatic artist friend of Egon Schiele, Erwin
Osen also left his mark on the key early years of Expressionism in
Vienna. His multi-faceted relationship with Schiele reached an
intensity that inspired Egon Schiele’s radical creative work,
resulting in masterpieces of Austrian art. Erwin Osen was
forgotten, but is now waiting to be rediscovered. Erwin Osen
(1891–1970) was a companion to Egon Schiele who provided him with
stimuli. He reveals himself to have been a fascinating all-round
artist. He was unique, an “It Man” of the modern age. Stage
decor and set design, acting, pantomime, singing, cabaret,
direction from theatre to silent and talking films and camera
technology, as well as painting and graphics – there was no limit
to the forms taken by Osen’s art. It was at his side that Egon
Schiele developed his own expressive main works. This first
publication on Erwin Osen describes a unique biography and focuses
on the interaction with the art of Egon Schiele.
