Egon Schiele: Angular Beauty Born

[00:00:00]Good evening, 12th of June, the day of Venus Sun in Gemini, Moon in Taurus. The Glow Index runs bony and acid pink tonight. Egon Schiele was born outside Vienna in 1890. Klimt found him at 16, called him too talented, and let him into the Secession workshop. He drew women and himself with the same merciless pencil. Knees up to the chest, elbows hooked like hinges open too far, fingers clawing the air, hair short and bristling. He left the backgrounds bare.

[00:00:27]Skin came out sallow, bruised violet, raw pink [music] with rusty accents at the nipples and knuckles. He spent 24 days in prison for the drawings of girls. He married Edith Harmes in 1915.

[00:00:39]In October 1918, the Spanish flu took her 6 months pregnant. 3 days later, it took him too at 28. [music] The line is still drying on the paper.

[00:00:47]And remember, you are beautiful exactly as you are, and beauty will save the world. cocodotme. Know before you glow.
