Schiele: Colour Library

By Christopher Short

Book Overview

As a precocious child talent, growing up in 1890s Vienna - the same that nurtured the psychoanlysis of Freud - Egon Schiele developed a distinctive personal style that matched his obsession with sex, life and death. Although he died young he produced a body of paintings, watercolours and drawings that rank him among the most original artists of the 20th century, and an important forerunner of the Expressionist movement.
