| Summary: | Egon Schiele, in his self-portraits, investigates, with a careful and extremely critical view, the psychological and emotional and produces an extense work in 10 years. The ambiguities and the many transformations in which he submits himself allow him to trace parallels between his work and the trickster, a mythic figure who transits between borderlines, crossing its boundaries, trick-player/deceiver, the cheater, an entity of multiple forms. This article aims to study the nude self-portrait of Schiele from 1910, analyze it e clarify possible similarities found from the comparison between him and the six characteristics from the multicultural and multiformal Trickster created by William Hynes and presented in the chapter Mapping Trickster Characteristics from the book Mythical Trickster Figures. |
