Once again, schiele wanted to get away. “vienna is full of shadows, the city is black. I want to be alone [in] the bohemian woods, that i need not hear anything about myself,” he wrote in his diary. Wally (valerie neuzil), former model and lover of klimt who supposedly gave herself to schiele, accompanied him. They moved to his mother’s hometown in krumau on the moldau. The devoted lidl had procured an atelier with a garden. A very productive working phase began for schiele. Besides a few landscapes, he mainly worked on nude studies of himself and wally, his “twittering lark”. Like the diary drawings, numerous studies depict the erotic cohabitation of two bodies.
