==Legacy== [[File:Egon Schiele - Der Maler Max Oppenheimer - 1910.jpeg|thumb|upright|''[[Max Oppenheimer (artist)|Max Oppenheimer]]'', 1910]] Schiele was the subject of the 1980 biographical film ''Excess and Punishment'' (aka ''[[Egon Schiele – Exzess und Bestrafung]]''), originating in Germany with a European cast that explores Schiele's artistic demons leading up to his early death. The film was directed by [[Herbert Vesely]] and stars [[Mathieu Carrière]] as Schiele, [[Jane Birkin]] as his early artistic muse Wally Neuzil, Christine Kaufman as his wife, Edith Harms, and Kristina Van Eyck as her sister, Adele Harms. Also in 1980, the [[Arts Council of Great Britain]] produced a documentary film, ''[[Schiele in Prison]]'', which looked at the circumstances of Schiele's imprisonment and the veracity of his diary.<ref name=art>{{cite web|title =Schiele In Prison|url=http://artsonfilm.wmin.ac.uk/films.php?a=view&recid=97|access-date=2 April 2015|work=Arts on Film Archive}}</ref> In 2016 another biographical film was released, ''[[Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden]]'' (German: ''Egon Schiele: Tod und Mädchen'').<ref>{{Cite web |title=Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden (Egon Schiele: Tod und Mädchen) |url=https://cineuropa.org/en/film/317834/ |access-date=2023-04-21 |website=Cineuropa - the best of european cinema |language=en}}</ref> [[Joanna Scott]]'s 1990 novel ''Arrogance'' was based on Schiele's life and makes him the main figure.
