His nude paintings, boldly revealed female's sex organ and the masturbating actions of young girls, remain very eye-catching even in modern times. The viewing angle which Schiele set up in these works dis not mean to foster a peeking atmosphere. On the contrary, he intended to create a sense of reality which eliminated the distance between the viewers and the paintings. When viewers watch Schiele's nude paintings, they receive the strong messages which are delivered through models’ bodies. Instead of peeking or penetrating models bodies unilaterally, the viewers, therefore, form a communication with models in the form of dialogue. Although Schiele's nude paintings, always emphasizing female sexual features, are full of sexual and erotic implications, these works have no intention of suggesting a sexual desire atmosphere. Schiele's ultimate goals are to manifest the art aspiration of human nature, to explore the mystery of sex and to display the most natural existence of human beings.
