“I think the masterpiece of this particular-and particularly
daring-aspect of Schiele’s work occurs in the self-portrait in a jail cell, which he called Hindering
the Artist Is a Crime, it Is Murdering Life in the Bud! Here, in the extreme of humiliation and pain, while
imprisoned for the power of his work,he draws himself in an explosion of form, equal to the most
extravagant ideal of fashion. No man’s garment flows so lyrically in the best of times, let alone
the worst.”—Richard Avedon, Borrowed Dogs
