Even after a hundred years, their drawings have a compelling immediacy, a sense of energy and presence, of searching and questioning, that still feels fresh. Both artists welcomed deep engagement with their art, a kind of looking that encompassed feeling and seeking.<\/p>\n<p>Klimt was nearly thirty years Schiele\u2019s senior, and the younger artist looked up to him, but their admiration and recognition of artistic skill were mutual. When Schiele asked Klimt if he was talented, Klimt replied, \u201cTalented? Much too much.\u201d<sup>\u200a<\/sup>\u00a0Schiele proposed an exchange of drawings, offering several of his own sheets for one by Klimt, to which Klimt responded, \u201cWhy do you want to exchange with me? You draw better than I do.\u201d<sup>\u200a<\/sup>\u00a0Schiele was proud when his work was exhibited opposite Klimt\u2019s in Berlin in 1916. Just a\u00a0couple years later, upon Klimt\u2019s death, Schiele wrote, \u201cAn unbelievably accomplished artist\u2014a man of rare depth\u2014\u200bhis work a sanctuary.\u201d<sup>\u200a<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For all their mutual respect, the two artists produced work that differs decidedly in appearance and effect. Klimt\u2019s drawings are often delicate, while Schiele\u2019s are regularly bold. Klimt\u2019s drawings were typically preparatory for a painting, whereas Schiele considered his own as finished, independent pictures and routinely sold them.\u00a0Schiele\u2019s drawings often employ intense watercolors of varying degrees of opaqueness that heighten the impact of the forms, while Klimt worked mostly in monochrome and line. And yet, despite these disparities, their works are related in ways that highlight what makes both artists\u2019 drawings rewarding and challenging to contemplate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_120695\"
