Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Austrian painter Egon Schiele was a gifted artist, mentored by the great Gustav Klimt. Inspired by the human form, he is best-known for his figurative works, particularly of women, with their defiantly confrontational air and their bold contortions. Schiele’s nudes are shockingly direct in the way they face us: frank, unabashed and defiant in their gaze. To be as resolutely transgressive as Schiele is an artistic achievement in itself. Egon Schiele Masterpieces of Art features a fascinating introduction to the life and art of this talented artist, as well as showcasing his key portraits, nudes, landscapes and still lifes in all their glory.

Download or read book Leopold written by Rudolf Leopold and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Leopold Museum in the Viennese museum quarter was established from the private art collection; the pieces were collected for decades by Rudolf Leopold with extraordinary expertise. The more than five thousand objects, which make up the inventory of the museum, encompass a broad spectrum, including tribal art from Africa and Oceania, as well as early Japanese wood engravings." "However, Austrian art is central to the presentation. From the start, the collector's main focus was especially placed on the Austrian Expressionists and their extensive works of art by Richard Gerstl, Oskar Kokschka, Alfred Kubin and Egon Schiele count as the main attractions of the museum. The Schiele collection, with over 220 works of art presented at one location, is the largest world-wide. Also represented in an exceptional way is the beautiful linear ornamental style of the Viennese Secession with its protagonist Gustav Klimt, as well as the functional elegance of the Wiener Werkstatte with objects by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and Otto Wagner."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: Egon Schiele (1890 - 1918) is nowadays regarded as one of the leading pioneers of Modernism in Austria. Although he already enjoyed some success during his lifetime and came to be considered Austria's greatest artist following his death, his outstanding impo rtance for art was recognized only in the early 1950s. Rudolf Leopold, the early collector of Schiele who first became interested in Schiele in the 1950s, has been instrumental in raising the international profile of Egon Schiele. Today, his art treasures are housed in the Leopold Museum in Vienna, which holds the world's largest and most outstanding collection of works by Schiele. Diethard Leopold, the collector's son and author of this volume, naturally grew up with Schiele's works, developing a special affinity and familiarity with the artist and his works. In this monograph he examines the life of the painter, who died prematurely at the age of 28, and based on major works from every one of his creative periods he presents an artist who captivates the viewer with emotional subjects and technical ingenuity al ike. In the archive section of this volume, special finds from the rich trove of documents he left behind show the copious talent of Egon Schiele who not only excelled as a painter and graphic artist, but also awaits discovery for his expressionist poetry.

Download or read book Egon Schiele written by Egon Schiele and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate look at the erotic studies and paintings of a controversial artist whose works continue to provoke even today. Schiele's fiercely drawn lines and confrontational compositions command our attention. His erotic art, most of all, evokes feelings of discomfort, titillation, curiosity, and even repulsion, and yet bears testimony to his talent and passion. This beautifully crafted collection of erotic masterpieces showcases the themes Schiele wove into all of his work: a fascination with the human psyche and sexuality, and a desire to destroy the conservative facade of moral righteousness and expose the inner truth. Designed to resemble an artist's sketchbook, this book offers viewers a chance to gain a better understanding of the technique and vision of this revolutionary painter.

Download or read book Egon Schiele Paintings and Drawings written by Jessica Findley and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his signature graphic style, embrace of figural distortion, and bold defiance of conventional norms of beauty, Egon Schiele was one of the leading figures of Austrian Expressionism. He was an Austrian painter, a protégé of Gustav Klimt and important figurative painter of the early 20th century. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize his paintings and drawings mark the artist as one an earliest exponent of Expressionism. In Schiele's early years, he was strongly influenced by Klimt and Kokoschka but soon evolved into his own characteristic style. He focused on portraits of others as well as himself. In his later years, while he still worked often with nudes, they were done in a more realist fashion. Schiele made many drawings, some of which were extremely erotic. During his short but highly prolific career which ended with his premature death, Schiele created more than three thousand works on paper and approximately 300 paintings.
