Schiele

by Isabel Kuhl

Egon Schiele was a revolutionary visionary ahead of time. His countless drawings and paintings, including radical nudes and many self-portraits, made him one of the great masters of art in the 20th century. Schiele's legacy went on to influence other artists and his works remain provocative to this day.

3 stars for the text. But the book itself is beautiful! A book for Schiele’s fans

Nice small album, but the text is not the most insightful one.

Okay, so this book is not written that well, but great info abt Schiele's life, though some stuff I learned in Vienna was omitted. I love his art.

This book gives a good description of Schiele's life and art. The colour reproductions are of good quality. I recommend for anyone interested in getting to know this artist.

Great insight into Schiele's life and art. I quite enjoyed it despite it being written a bit poorly. Try and get this in your local library.
