Download or read book Klimt and Schiele written by Katie Hanson and published by Museum of Fine Arts Boston. This book was released on 2018 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eloquent and provocative drawings, exquisitely reproduced, provide an intimate encounter with these two daring Austrian masters. Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele were two of the most daring and controversial artists in Vienna during the culturally turbulent decades around the turn of the 20th century. They worked out their provocative depictions of the human body, created in a search for psychological truth as well as physical realism, in the direct and intimate medium of drawing. In Klimt_s studies, the distinctive character or unsettling emotional resonance of the person portrayed comes through in the artist_s delicate, sinuous lines. The striking presence of the individual in Schiele_s more finished drawings, often rendered with extreme frankness and bold colouration, pulses with dramatic immediacy. Although Klimt was almost thirty years Schiele_s senior, he quickly recognized and encouraged the younger artist_s extraordinary talent. The sixty important works exquisitely reproduced in large format in this volume reach from each artist_s early academic studies to more incisive and unconventional explorations of nature, psychology, sexuality and spirituality. By giving viewers access to these artists_ worlds, this album of unforgettable drawings provides a direct connection to the minds of two master draftsmen exploring the limits of representation, as well as the shock of recognition at seeing our own inner lives caught on paper.

Book Egon Schiele s Portraits

  • ISBN : 9781632930125

Download or read book Egon Schiele s Portraits written by Alessandra Comini and published by . This book was released on 2014-08 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egon Schiele was a meteor that flashed across the galaxy of Viennese art at the beginning of the last century. Although he lived only twenty-eight years-dying quite suddenly of influenza in 1918 just as World War I came to an end-he left a stunning pictorial oeuvre. Schiele's obsession with sexuality, his own and that of others, made him at once a voyeur and a participant in that sexual imperative which Freud was simultaneously plumbing with such unsettling results. The disturbing revelations of Schiele's unmasking portraiture and of the new science of psychology disclosed a collective cultural anxiety during the last years of the crumbling Austrian empire. As a seer into the souls of his sitters, Schiele redefined portraiture in the age of Angst. Alessandra Comini is University Distinguished Professor of Art History Emerita at Southern Methodist University, where she taught for thirty-one years after having served on the faculty at Columbia University for ten years. She is the author of eight books, one of which, "Egon Schiele's Portraits," was nominated for the National Book Award. The Republic of Austria extended her its Grand Decoration of Honor in 1990. This is her third book on the artist; she has also published "Schiele in Prison," an extended essay and English translation of the 1912, makeshift diary Schiele kept during his twenty-four days in a provincial prison cell-a forgotten cell which she discovered and photographed in 1963. The cell is now part of a Schiele Museum in the village of Neulengbach. Her 2014 Megan Crespi mystery novel, "Killing for Klimt," is followed by "The Schiele Slaughters."

  • Author : Marian Bisanz-Prakken
  • Publisher : Royal Academy Editions
  • Release : 2018
  • ISBN : 9781910350942
  • Pages : 189 pages

Download or read book Klimt Schiele written by Marian Bisanz-Prakken and published by Royal Academy Editions. This book was released on 2018 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gustav Klimt's and Egon Schiele's sensuous and often explicit drawings are brought together in a beautifully presented volume. Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) and his younger protege Egon Schiele (1890-1918) are considered two of the greatest figures of Austrian Modernism. Whether competing with or inspiring one another, together they reconfigured the way the human body was translated into art. Although both artists are primarily remembered as painters, between them they left 7,000 drawings, many of the greatest of which are now in the collection of the Albertina Museum, Vienna. In 2018 an exhibition opens in London of both artists' drawings from the Albertina. This stunning publication records these precious works, which are very rarely displayed and almost never travel, in all their erotic, intriguing and sometimes disturbing beauty. Leading experts on the period provide authoritative texts that illuminate the important relationship between the two artists. They analyse the role of drawing in their practice and chart the response of early twentieth-century Vienna to their electrifying work, which still has the power to shock and enthral to this day. AUTHORS: Marian Bisanz-Prakken is the leading expert on Klimt's drawings and a former curator at the Albertina, Vienna. She is co-author of Gustav Klimt: Drawings (2012). The art historian Elizabeth Clegg is author of Art, Design and Architecture in Central Europe, 1890-1920 (2006). Jane Kallir is Senior Curator at the Galerie St Etienne, New York. Her books include Egon Schiele: The Complete Works (1998), Egon Schiele: Self-portraits and Portraits (2011) and The Women of Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka (2015). SELLING POINTS: * Gustav Klimt's and Egon Schiele's sensuous and often explicit drawings are brought together in a beautifully presented volume * Accompanies a major exhibition exploring the relationship between the two artists and their continuing influence * The works will be shown at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, from 4 November 2018 to 3 February 2019 * 2018 is the centenary of both artists' deaths, to be marked by a year-long celebration of their work in Vienna 140 colour images

  • ISBN : 1781608679
  • Pages : 199 pages

Download or read book Egon Schiele and artworks written by Jeanette Zwingenberger and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egon Schiele’s work is so distinctive that it resists categorisation. Admitted to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts at just sixteen, he was an extraordinarily precocious artist, whose consummate skill in the manipulation of line, above all, lent a taut expressivity to all his work. Profoundly convinced of his own significance as an artist, Schiele achieved more in his abruptly curtailed youth than many other artists achieved in a full lifetime. His roots were in the Jugendstil of the Viennese Secession movement. Like a whole generation, he came under the overwhelming influence of Vienna’s most charismatic and celebrated artist, Gustav Klimt. In turn, Klimt recognised Schiele’s outstanding talent and supported the young artist, who within just a couple of years, was already breaking away from his mentor’s decorative sensuality. Beginning with an intense period of creativity around 1910, Schiele embarked on an unflinching exposé of the human form – not the least his own – so penetrating that it is clear he was examining an anatomy more psychological, spiritual and emotional than physical. He painted many townscapes, landscapes, formal portraits and allegorical subjects, but it was his extremely candid works on paper, which are sometimes overtly erotic, together with his penchant for using under-age models that made Schiele vulnerable to censorious morality. In 1912, he was imprisoned on suspicion of a series of offences including kidnapping, rape and public immorality. The most serious charges (all but that of public immorality) were dropped, but Schiele spent around three despairing weeks in prison. Expressionist circles in Germany gave a lukewarm reception to Schiele’s work. His compatriot, Kokoschka, fared much better there. While he admired the Munich artists of Der Blaue Reiter, for example, they rebuffed him. Later, during the First World War, his work became better known and in 1916 he was featured in an issue of the left-wing, Berlin-based Expressionist magazine Die Aktion. Schiele was an acquired taste. From an early stage he was regarded as a genius. This won him the support of a small group of long-suffering collectors and admirers but, nonetheless, for several years of his life his finances were precarious. He was often in debt and sometimes he was forced to use cheap materials, painting on brown wrapping paper or cardboard instead of artists’ paper or canvas. It was only in 1918 that he enjoyed his first substantial public success in Vienna. Tragically, a short time later, he and his wife Edith were struck down by the massive influenza epidemic of 1918 that had just killed Klimt and millions of other victims, and they died within days of one another. Schiele was just twenty-eight years old.

Download or read book Obsession written by Sabine Rewald and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher, poet, and aesthete, Scofield Thayer (1889–1982) led an intense public life that included the editorship of the prominent avant-garde journal the Dial and often contentious friendships with literary luminaries such as T. S. Eliot and E. E. Cummings. In the early 1920s, Thayer went to Vienna, where he was analyzed by Sigmund Freud. He also embarked on an art-buying spree throughout the capitals of Europe, acquiring (among many other things) a number of highly erotic works on paper by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Pablo Picasso. Though these artists were little known or appreciated in America at the time, and though the especially provocative nature of the drawings and watercolors put them outside the mainstream, these works have now taken their place as erotic masterpieces, collected with remarkable foresight and vision. Obsession showcases 52 of these rarely seen works, presenting them within the context of Thayer’s remarkable life and tempestuous times while enhancing our understanding of these three modernist masters. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
