Excellent- More about Schiele
Egon Schiele was a pioneer of Austrian Expressionism and one of the most startling portrait painters of the 20th century, known for his graphic style, figural distortion, and defiance of conventional standards of beauty. His prolific portraits and self-portraits stunned the Viennese establishment with an unprecedented psychological and sexual intensity, favoring erotic, exposing, or unsettling poses. His models are at times skeletal and sickly, at other times strong and sensual. Today, his oeuvre is celebrated for its revolutionary approach to the human figure and for its direct and fervent, almost furious brand of draftsmanship.

Egon Schiele (1890–1918) was a pioneer of Austrian Expressionism and one of the most startling portrait painters of the 20th century. His graphic style, figural distortion, and defiance of conventional standards of beauty set him apart from his contemporaries. Schiele's mentor, Gustav Klimt, introduced him to the Art Nouveau style, but he quickly developed his own gritty and confrontational aesthetic of sharp lines, lurid shades, and mannered, elongated figures. His prolific portraits and self-portraits stunned the Viennese establishment with an unprecedented psychological and sexual intensity, favoring erotic, exposing, or unsettling poses in which he or his sitters cower on the floor, languish with legs akimbo, glower at the viewer, and thrust their genitalia into the foreground. His models are at times skeletal and sickly, at other times strong and sensual. Many contemporaries found Schiele's work to be not only ugly but morally objectionable; in 1912, the artist was briefly imprisoned for obscenity. Today, his oeuvre is celebrated for its revolutionary approach to the human figure and for its direct and particularly fervent, almost furious brand of draftsmanship. This book presents key Schiele works to introduce his short but urgent career and his profound contribution to the development of modern art, which reaches right through to such contemporary talents as Tracey Emin and Jenny Saville.
