Klimt and Schiele after Picasso

I saw these 2 early Schiele and Klimt drawings in the hallway at the met where they often change out drawings and etchings from their collection. I forgot the date, but I liked both, just assumed they were earlier works. I saw them after the Picasso exhibit, they were probably put up because of the loose, seemingly carefree drawings and etchings from Picasso.

The highlight of the Picasso exhibit for me was the Suite 347. I'm not sure how many The Met had in the room, but it was quite a few of the 347 pieces that are a part of the series that Picasso created when he was 87 years old. I wouldn't say that I loved the pieces, but I respect the way they were done without worrying about what people thought (seemingly). I enjoyed watching an old woman's expressions when she realized that many of the drawings had graphic sex scenes in them.
