That's how art is supposed to be, to raise something inside the one experiencing it. For those that want a more mundane experience from the same time-period there's also a Sargent and countless others like him. For reference, the one Schiele exhibition that I got to attend took place more than 15 years ago, at the Leopold Museum in Vienna itself, and for sure I didn't see it as grotesque. I was more mesmerised later that day by the Egyptian art hosted in the nearby Kunsthistorisches Museum
