Egon Schiele: Eros and Expressionism

by Esther Selsdon, Jeanette Zwingerberger

Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is one of the great Expressionist painters. He was taught by Gustav Klimt, and at a very early age, like his Viennese Secession predecessors, broke with the traditions of official Austrian art. His numerous self-portraits and nude models remained consistent throughout his career in keeping with his erotic, sensual and tormented visions of art. The paintings and text included in this book display the extraordinary talent of this artist who, sadly, died of Spanish influenza at the age of twenty-eight in Vienna.

There were a few errors in this book, descriptions that didn't match the artwork, etc. BUT a fabulous book! Egon Schiele worked a lot with gouache - making me want to open the set i bought and give it a splash.
