Help finding name of a painting.

will_y · April 5th, 2011, 02:37 PM

Hello fellow artists!
I would really appreciate any help finding the name/artist of the painting (in the background of picture linked below) that my girlfriend is absolutely is obsessed with, however; despite our searches high and low we can't find this painting anywhere!
Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated!
This is the link to the image, the painting in question is in the background to the right of Angelina Jolie:

Possibly a drawing by Gustav Klimt?

will_y · April 5th, 2011, 08:02 PM

it does look like a very similar style to some of Klimt's sketches. But I still can't find it!
Thank you very much for the suggestion! I'll keep on looking to make sure, the styles are strikingly similar.

i found a piece virtually identical to the painting in question, done by a direct disciple of Klimt, named Egon Schiele. The piece is named, "Langhaariger Akt" however there are a few slight differences. Thank you very much for your input John! Any other suggestions?

Yes, very similar. Note also the squarish signature in both works.

What are the differences? I don't see any.

I think you've got the right one. I was looking at this drawing which is also called Langhaariger Akt ("Long haired nude"):

OIC John...you were referring to Langhaariger Akt...the one Will_y had mentioned...this one is entitled Gebueckter Akt [Bent Act]. Egon Schiele lived an interesting very short life.
