Reference to 'Edith with Striped Dress, Sitting' by Egon Schiele
Edith Schiele was Egon Schiele's wife. Loyal to an artist who couldn't love one woman, 'Edith' reflects on his wife as a person, not a still life subject. In Egon's version, 'Edith with a Stripped Dress, Sitting,' is filled with color and looking towards the artist.
In 'Edith,' I chose to strip away color as a reflection of the duality of emotions.
Covering the drawing with a clear oil pastel created almost the opposite of a glow by softening and darkening the edges of the pencil.
