Egon Schiele Skateboard Triptych - Musart on Decks - Self-Portrait with Peacock Vest, Standing (1911)

We are delighted to introduce Musart's exclusive original collection, Musart on Decks, which showcases limited edition skateboard decks displaying timeless masterpieces from art history. This collection beautifully bridges the gap between the traditional history of art and the contemporary skateboarding culture, all at accessible prices.

As part of our original Musart on Decks collection, we present a highly sought-after limited edition: the Egon Schiele Skateboard Deck Triptych. This exclusive release features 100 decks adorned with Schiele's notorious work, Self-Portrait with Peacock Vest, Standing (1911). 

Egon Schiele's Self-Portrait with Peacock Vest, Standing (1911) is a remarkable departure from his usual self-portraits. Unlike the depictions of misery, despair, and grief that often characterized his work, in this piece, we see Schiele in an almost arrogant and proud stance. A white aureole surrounds his head, reminiscent of images of saints or Byzantine fresco representations of Christ. Like other members of the German Expressionist movement, such as Gustav Klimt, Schiele was influenced by Nietzschean philosophy, believing that art and the artist have the power to bring salvation to humanity.

It is worth noting that this self-portrait marks the first appearance of the V-shaped gesture of Schiele's hand, positioned in front of the solar plexus of his chest. This gesture adds a unique and symbolic element to the composition, further enhancing the depth and meaning of the artwork.

Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of this extraordinary collection. The Egon Schiele Skateboard Deck Triptych is a testament to Schiele's artistic evolution and his profound impact on the art world.
