A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Egon Schiele is above all famous for his strongly expressive nudes and erotic portrayals of women. Less well known is that half of his extensive works are of houses, townscapes and landscapes. The author goes in search of evidence of Schiele's motifs, and contrasts and compares historical photographs with the paintings. Schiele lived in the region captured in his paintings ; he loved this unspoiled landscape, and painted it again and again. The numerous pictures come to life and the observer is taken through the villages with the painter, sees houses and gardens as well as meadows and fields in different seasons. Egon Schiele's oeuvre is shown from an entirely new angle.
