I like how the bottom one is very minimalist, and in some places there aren't even lines (the contour breaks) but your mind/eyes fill it in anyway. I also like the mixture of lines and texture, like how the shading is done by smudging because it also adds to her sort of forlorn expression. -Jess Daniels
I really like the proportions of the bodies created by the different types and textures of the lines. In the middle piece, the lines establish the seemingly passionate and deep relationship between the two subjects. Also, while they are drawn as one (so it seems), the lines define the subjects individually and give them different personalities and roles in the piece. For example, the way the lines create the muscular arms of the back figure grabbing onto the right figure suggest dependence, fear of loss, and passion, while the more awkward positioned arm of the right figure seems protective and independent in comparison.
The contour line reveals all the bumps of muscle, fat, and bone- as if it is the thin layer of skin covering the anatomy within. This draws attention to the details of the human form that might not be so pleasant and usually not the focus of an intimate scene (ie. the fat on the back of her arm protrudes when it is held close to her body). Schiele's unforgiving line provides an analytic like portrayal of the scene.
