Kurzbeschreibung
Egon Schiele (1890-1918) - along with Oskar Kokoschka - is the painter who had the most long-lasting influence on the Vienna art scene after the great era of Klimt came to a close. After a short flirtation with Klimt's style, Schiele soon questioned the aesthetic orientation to the beautiful surface of the Viennese Art Nouveau with his rough and not easily accessible paintings. Many contemporaries found his expressive nudes and self-portraits, with their strange movements and morbid colours, to be ugly and even morally objectionable - criticism which culminated in criminalizing the painter as "obscene" and resulted in 1912 in an indictment and short jail sentence. However, not even his harshest critics could dispute however the artist's extraordinary drawing talent.

Good intro to a disturbing artist
13. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
As a quick study of/introduction to Egon Schiele, this book is great. Timeline, bio, an examination of influences and early works are included, but the highlights are Schiele's mature paintings. His self-portraits make him look like a concentration camp internee. Beautiful, scary stuff.

In Schiele's Hands
10. Dezember 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
In Shiele's hands is a confident line and an uncensored, cooly critical appraising eye. His self portraits, angular, emaciated, naked place the viewer in the position of voyeur and Schiele the exhibitionist. His rendering of hands are boney, expressive, at times grasping with their black outlines across the body.
His female nudes are unforgiving, distorted, fleshy, grotesque and, at times, with a dismemberment that is confronting. His painting, The Embrace, so resembles the work of the much later, Lucien Freud that I would not be surprised if Schiele was one of Freud's artistic influences.
This book includes Schiele's early works, the influence of Klimt on his work, his later abstractions and landscapes. The text provides a fascinating insight into this complex artist.

Scholarly and colorful.
27. März 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
This book by Reinhard Steiner gives a very intellectual treatment to the art of Egon Schiele. From pages 9 to 11, Nietzsche is quoted as a guide to the self, and for the first quote, Steiner must be translating from the German himself, for the footnote is not to an English version of Nietzsche's work. Could this be familiar?
It is a theatre of the self which is in dangerous proximity to Friedrich Nietzsche's aphoristic description (in 1888) of the modern artist: "The modern artist, physiologically close kin to the hysteric, bears the signs of hysteria in his very character too . . . The absurd excitability of his constitution, which makes a crisis of every experience and drags drama into the merest chances of life, renders him utterly unpredictable: he is no longer one person, but at most a gathering of persons, and now this one, now that will be conspicuous amongst them, with unabashed confidence. . . ." (pp. 9-10).
Almost everything in the book is reproduced in color, but the paintings might not please everyone. Consider them stark.
