Egon Schiele CHIN.

Besides Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka,Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is regarded as one of the most important Austrian artists of the 20th century today. In Schiele's oeuvre the stress is laid on his own figure. The artist's struggle with himself, with the art world and his time are made visible by unprecedent experiments in self- portrayals.The main focus of this publication lies on the group of self portraits, 83 coloured illustrations draw an excellent visual outline of Egon Schiele's artistic and graphic oeuvre.
