Klimt & Schiele: Eros and Psyche (2018)

Plot

In the aftermath of World War I, Vienna finds itself on the brink of collapse as the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrates. On October 31, 1918, Egon Schiele succumbs to the Spanish flu at the young age of 28, capturing the unseen horrors of his time through his art until the very end. Just months prior, his groundbreaking exhibition showcased 19 oil paintings and 29 drawings, reflecting humanity's tumultuous desires. The art world mourns not only Schiele’s loss but also that of his mentor, Gustav Klimt, whose revolutionary influence had reshaped artistic expression and established the Secession movement.
