Egon Schiele's Portraits

Meer over het boek

Egon Schiele's art reflects a profound exploration of sexuality and psychological depth during a time of cultural anxiety in the waning Austrian Empire. His brief life, ending in 1918, produced a remarkable body of work that redefined portraiture, revealing the complexities of human emotion and desire. Alessandra Comini, a distinguished art historian, offers insights into Schiele's legacy through her extensive research and previous works, including his prison diary. This book is a culmination of her studies, further illuminating Schiele's impact on modern art.
