Talk:Egon Schiele

[edit] dystonia
can anybody actually confirm this assertion that schiele had dystonia? i was able to find one article from a medical journal which mentioned the painter's being afflicted, but only in passing and with no corroborating evidence. all the other hits i got doing a simple google search were copied off wiki. if schiele did have dystonia, this is relatively new knowledge, as none of the well-known monographs from the 1980s and 1990s mention this condition. it represents a fairly new take on the painter if he actually had to move his body in that spasmolytic manner; given the unprecedented nature of this assertion it would be good to have citations/references of some kind ---- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User: Dionysian_kat (talk • contribs).
