Zhenya, the concept of decent /indecent fluctuate all the time - in the direction of broadening the scope. Of course, now Schiele drawings will not surprise anybody, but we must note that this story takes place in the early 20 th century, when ladies wore tightly laced corsets and skirts to the floor, and none currently no sewing
And half a century earlier was convicted of Baudelaire's "Flowers of the Buildings", Flaubert - for "Madame Bovary" as a kind of painting Courbet was considered indecent.

but I can not understand why the schedule Schiele worth several times more expensive Matisse, Kandinsky and Klimt himself

The situation with prices on the work of Schiele in general deserves special attention because less than 3-5 years it took off 10 times in price. And this applies as written qwerty, graphic works, many of whom are hard-core pornography. How many of you will agree to hang the house pornographic Karina? and do not have to convince me that it is erotic. Pornography in the full sense of the word. By the way, Schiele had a very big problem in the village where he lived in connection with accusations of pedophilia ... the artist was mentally sick, the healthy to create such paintings can not. But to him who so unrolled a huge Respect. To bring the cost of graphics with 100 thousand to several million - that's cool.
