- Summary:
- Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele produced a prolific body of work before his early death at the age of twenty-eight in 1918. The oeuvre is comprised of a few hundred oil paintings and nearly 3,000 drawings and watercolors. Limited access to these fragile works and dispersion among public and private collections have made a comprehensive survey of the artist's work a rarity. This book assembles this master draftsman's works on paper, providing a unique opportunity to study his rapid artistic development over the course of a brief twelve years of activity. Jane Kallir, the author of Schiele's catalogue raisonne, introduces each year of the artist's output, discussing his step-by-step progression from child prodigy to master of the human form and expression.
