Egon Schiele
Austrian · b. 1890
Schiele similarly used economical ink and line work to capture intimate figurative compositions with raw psychological tension, rendering nude and semi-nude figures with a directness and spontaneity that mirrors Pascin's fluid Chinese ink approach.
Käthe Kollwitz
German · b. 1867
Kollwitz worked extensively in monochrome sketches that captured the social and emotional dynamics between groups of figures, particularly women and children, using bold yet sensitive linework that shares Pascin's intimate figurative sensibility.
Georg Grosz
German · b. 1893
Grosz created fluid ink drawings of grouped figures in post-war modern settings, using Chinese ink with a similarly loose and expressive line to suggest social relationships and human interaction in intimate black and white compositions.
