2018年，路易威登基金会在巴黎举办了以让·米歇尔·巴斯奎特和埃贡·席勒为主题的展览，这两位被认为是二十世纪最伟大的艺术家之二。两场展览由同一策展人策划，并且于同一时间举办，共同展现了是什么将这两位艺术家联系到了一起——线条，以及对充满表达性的力量的运用。

因此，线条的作用既是一个令人着迷又极具启发性的参考点，也是对席勒浑然天成、难以模仿的作品一个独特证明。埃贡·席勒通过装饰性线条、战争年代支离破碎的人性界线、表达主义中的存在主义底色和一战前夕重构的立场等概念探索着“线 (line)”的至高无上性。席勒持续地尝试着为他对具象存在的探索构造出具体的概念。扭曲变形、夸张的姿势与并不符合解剖学比例的人体描绘皆可被视为他被定义为崩碎、转移与排列的艺术事业的逻辑性延续。展览是由Dieter Buchhart博士策划的。《埃贡·席勒》这本图录由很少或从未公之于众的素描、水粉画、绘画作品组成。这些杰作是从全世界许多博物馆与私人收藏中汇集而来，首次在路易威登基金会进行展出。

Accompanies a major double exhibition on Jean-Michel Basquiat and Egon Schiele - two artists that died too young but created masses of work over the course of a decade, at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, from 2nd October 2018 to 4th January 2019

Comprises drawings, gouaches and paintings sourced from private collections and museums all over the world

In 2018 the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, will host exhibitions on two of the greatest artists of the 20th century - Egon Schiele, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Both exhibitions will have the same curator and will be held at the same time. The shows will illustrate exactly what it is that linked the two artists: line, and the use of expressive force.

In Schiele's work the evolution of his unique, idiosyncratic uses of line provides a visceral element of expression that allows the viewer to trace his artistic development over the course of distinctive periods within their bodies of work. This, the catalogue of the Egon Schiele exhibition, concentrates on themes of the body and portraits, through drawings and watercolors, showcasing Schiele's incredible expressive force.

The role of the line thus serves as a fascinating and illuminating point of reference and unique testament to the artist's innate and inimitable oeuvre. Egon Schiele explores the paramountcy of the line through concepts such as the ornamental line, the fragmented lines of humanity during the war years, the existential line of Expressionism, and the reconstructed line at the dawn of the First World War. Schiele relentlessly sought to formulate concrete concepts of his exploration of the figurative. The distortions, exaggerated poses, and anatomically incorrect representations of the body can be seen as a logical continuation of his artistic commitment, which was defined by breaks, shifts, and permutations. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Dieter Buchhart. The catalogue Egon Schiele comprises drawings, gouaches and paintings which have rarely or never been seen in public before. These outstanding works have been gathered from museums and private collections from all over the world and will now for the first time been presented at the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
