Egon Schiele. The Complete Paintings 1909–1918 - Tobias Natter - książka
Producent: Taschen
From a rebellious figure to a celebrated icon, Egon Schiele carved out a distinct niche in the modern art world. Born in 1890, Schiele broke away from his influential mentor, Gustav Klimt, and during the brief span of a decade, developed a compelling personal style. His life was cut short by the Spanish flu in 1918, but not before he had established himself as a revolutionary force in art. Schiele's works are marked by their stark, elongated forms and unflinching portrayal of sexuality. His self-portraits, often displaying gaunt facial expressions, pushed the boundaries between genius and insanity, starkly different from Klimt's lush and romantic motifs. Schiele's raw honesty shocked Viennese society, leading to his initial marginalization.Though his art was once derided as "degenerate," Schiele has since become a profound influence on countless artists, including figures like Francis Bacon, Günter Brus, and Tracey Emin. Today, his misunderstood works command high prices at auctions. The publication "Egon Schiele. The Complete Paintings 1909–1918" offers an extensive view of his dynamic final years, featuring 221 paintings and 146 drawings, complemented by his poetry and personal writings. Essays within the book contextualize Schiele within the landscape of European Expressionism, highlighting his significant and ongoing impact on modern art.
