Con su estilo gráfico, la distorsión de las figuras y el desafío a los ideales convencionales de belleza, Egon Schiele (1890-1918) fue un pionero del expresionismo austriaco y uno de los retratistas más asombrosos del siglo XX.Tras un breve flirteo con el brillante estilo art nouveau de Gustav Klimt, su mentor, Klimt desarrolló su propia estética, mucho más cruda y agresiva, de líneas bruscas, tonos mórbidos y figuras alargadas. Sus numerosos retratos y autorretratos dejaron anonadada a la clase alta de Viena por su intensidad psicológica y sexual sin precedentes, que favorecía las poses eróticas, reveladoras o perturbadoras, en las que los modelos se acurrucan en el suelo, se tienden con las piernas abiertas, fulminan con la mirada al espectador y muestran sus genitales. Sus modelos podían ser esqueléticos y enfermizos o, por el contrario, fuertes y sensuales.Muchos de sus coetáneos consideraban la obra de Schiele fea e incluso cuestionable moralmente, y en 1912 el artista cumplió una breve sentencia de cárcel por obscenidad. En la actualidad, su obra es admirada por su revolucionaria visión de la figura humana y por su peculiar trazo, directo y apasionado, casi furioso. Este libro presenta obras clave de Egon Schiele que son un reflejo de su breve pero intensa carrera y de su profunda contribución al desarrollo del arte moderno, que ha alcanzado a talentos contemporáneos como Tracey Emin y Jenny Saville.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. With his graphic style, figural distortion, and defiance of conventional standards of beauty, Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was a pioneer of Austrian Expressionism and one of the most startling portrait painters of the 20th century. Mentored by Gustav Klimt, Schiele dabbled in a glittering Art Nouveau style before developing his own much more 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.
