Abstract

This article aims to establish some common points between the pictures taken inside the Parisian Salpetriere Hospital and the aestethic vision of Schiele. Egon Schiele, more than any artist of his period, deals with anxiety. With the nevrotic agility of his strokes, Schiele reveals the mechanism of the unconscious. He analyzes the pictures of Salpetriere's patients, which he found in a book published by Charcot in 1875. Schiele also directly observes patients, by visiting the Viennese psychiatric institutions.
