Egon Schiele: The Unsalvageable Ego: Works from the Albertina - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

The spectacular life of Austrian artist Egon Schiele is shown in this magnificent compilation. The book approaches the subject from a unique angle, discussing his oeuvre as a contribution to turn-of-the-century discourse and debates surrounding cultural issues such as the crisis of the individual—which was labeled “the unsalvageable ego.” Additional topics regarding Schiele are covered through a selection of essays, delving into the myth behind the artist and his experiments with space and explicit sexuality. Richly illustrated with provocative nudes and relentless self-portraits, this monograph captures the influential accomplishments of one of the 20th century’s major figurative painters.
