Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is one of the great Expressionist painters. He was influenced by Klimt and the Viennese Secession, and at a very early age broke with the traditions of official Austrian art. His many nudes and self-portraits remain true to the neurotic image of this important artist: erotic, sensual and tormented. The paintings and text included in this book bring vividly to life the extraordinary talent of this artist who was shot dead at the age of just 28, just as the First World War was coming to an end.
