I like Schiele's work becuase I find his grimy, corpse-like figures to be very aesthetically pleasing. I do not find it 'beautiful' in the sense that an old Venetian painting of a cherub is beautiful, I simply find the deliberate ugliness pleasing to the eye. I do not find his work shocking and I do not see why I should care about the level of technical skill that went into it.
