После того, как Эгон Шиле (1890–1918) освободился от тени своего наставника и образца для подражания Густава Климта, у него было всего десять лет, чтобы вписать свой фирменный стиль в анналы современности, прежде чем испанка унесла его жизнь. Будучи вундеркиндом, вполне осознавающим свою гениальность и страстным провокатором, это оказалось не слишком сложной задачей. Его изможденные, растянутые фигуры, предельное изображение сексуальности и автопортреты, в которых он изобразил себя с изможденным выражением лица, граничащим с блеском и безумием, не имели ничего из декоративности климтовских гимнов любви, сексуальности и тоскующей преданности. Вместо этого работы Шиле говорили о жестокой честности, которая расстроит и необратимо изменит венское общество. Хотя позже его работы были оклеветаны как «дегенеративные» и какое-то время были почти полностью забыты, они оказали влияние на поколения художников — от Гюнтера Бруса и Фрэнсиса Бэкона до Трейси Эмин. Сегодня его тогда неправильно понятое творчество продолжает продаваться по заоблачным ценам на международном арт-рынке.Эта монография, впервые опубликованная в формате XL, теперь доступна в несколько сокращенном, более компактном издании, посвященном 40-летию TASCHEN, и включает в себя картины и рисунки, которые воспроизводят плодородное последнее десятилетие жизни Шиле. Эти работы сопровождаются эссе, рассказывающими о его жизни и творчестве, помещающими австрийского мастера в контекст европейского экспрессионизма и описывающими его выдающееся наследие.After Egon Schiele (1890–1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had just ten years to inscribe his signature style into the annals of modernity before the Spanish flu claimed his life. Being a child prodigy quite aware of his own genius and a passionate provocateur, this didn’t prove to be too big a challenge. His haggard, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-portraits, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expressions bordering between brilliance and madness, had none of the decorative quality of Klimt’s hymns of love, sexuality and yearning devotion. Instead, Schiele’s work spoke of a brutal honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennese society. Although his works were later defamed as “degenerate” and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists―from Günter Brus and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market. This monograph, first published in an XL edition, is now available in a slightly abridged, more compact edition to celebrate TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary and features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele’s life.

With his revolutionary and liberated view of the naked body and sexuality, Egon Schiele emphatically wrote himself into the history of art at the beginning of the last century. Even today, the women and self-portraits painted by the enfant terrible of the Viennese modern age still have an exciting and bold effect. They were all created during the last decade of his short life.

Obsessiv, radikal, verstorend: Egon Schiele Nachdem sich Egon Schiele (1890–1918) aus dem Schatten seines Mentors und Vorbildes Gustav Klimt befreit hatte, blieben ihm noch zehn Jahre, um sich mit einer unverwechselbaren Handschrift in die Geschichte der Moderne einzuschreiben, bevor er, wie viele Millionen andere Menschen weltweit, von der Spanischen Grippe dahingerafft wurde. Als fruh vom eigenen Genie uberzeugtes Wunderkind und Provokateur aus Leidenschaft fiel ihm das nicht schwer. Seine ausgezehrten, uberdehnten Gestalten, seine drastische Darstellung der Sexualitat und seine Selbstportrats, in denen er sich hohlwangig zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn inszenierte, hatten so gar nichts von der dekorativen Qualitat der Klimt’schen Hymnen an Liebe, Sexualitat und sehnsuchtsvolle Hingabe. Schiele war von brutaler Direktheit und stie? die Wiener Gesellschaft damit erfolgreich vor den Kopf. Auch wenn seine Werke spater als „entartet“ diffamiert wurden und eine Zeit lang fast in Vergessenheit gerieten, haben sie doch Generationen von Kunstlerinnen und Kunstlern beeinflusst – von Gunter Brus und Francis Bacon bis Tracey Emin. Heute erzielen seine damals so missverstandenen Werke auf dem internationalen Kunstmarkt exorbitante Preise. Diese zunachst im XXL-Format veroffentlichte Monografie ist nun anlasslich des 40-jahrigen Jubilaums von TASCHEN in einer leicht gekurzten, kompakteren Ausgabe erhaltlich und illustriert aus dem fruchtbaren letzten Jahrzehnt seines Lebens Schieles au?ergewohnliche Entwicklung auf dem Hohepunkt seiner Karriere. Daneben stehen Essays, die ihn im Kontext des europaischen Expressionismus verorten und den immensen Einfluss nachzeichnen, den sein Werk entfaltete.

The legacy of Gustav Klimt A century after his death, Viennese artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. This monograph gathers all of Klimt’s major works alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged access to the artist’s archive. With top quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous “golden phase” when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold. Through luminous spreads and carefully curated details, the monograph traces the repertoire of Japanese, Byzantine, and allegorical stimuli that informed Klimt’s flattened perspectives, his symbolic vocabulary, and his mosaic-like textures. Drawing upon contemporary critics and voices, the book also examines the art world’s polarized reception to Klimt’s pictures as much as his own stylistic trajectory. From his landscape painting to erotic works to the controversial ceiling for the Great Hall of the University of Vienna, we see how Klimt’s admixture of tradition and daring divided the press and public—becried by some as a pornographer, hailed by others as a modern maestro.

A century after his death, Viennese artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) still startles with his unabashed eroticism, dazzling surfaces, and artistic experimentation. This monograph gathers all of Klimt's major works alongside authoritative art historical commentary and privileged access to the artist's archive with some 179 letters, cards, writings, and other documents.With top quality illustration, including new photography of the celebrated Stoclet Frieze, the book follows Klimt through his prominent role in the Secessionist movement of 1897, his candid rendering of the female body, and his lustrous “golden phase" when gold leaf brought a shimmering tone and texture to such beloved works as The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, also known as The Woman in Gold.

Egon Schiele is the painter who had the most long-lasting influence on the Vienna art scene after the great era of Klimt came to a close. After a short flirtation with the style of Klimt, his mentor, Schiele soon questioned the aesthetic orientation to the beautiful surface of the Viennese Art Nouveau with his rough and not easily accessible paintings. Many contemporaries found Schiele's expressive nudes and self-portraits, with their strange movements and morbid colours, to be ugly and even morally objectionable-criticism which culminated in criminalizing the painter as "obscene" and resulted in 1912 in an indictment and short jail sentence. However, not even his harshest critics could dispute the artist's extraordinary drawing talent. This book gives a concise overview of the brief, brilliant career of Egon Schiele.

During his lifetime, Gustav Klimt was a controversial star whose works made passions run high. He stood for Modernism but he also embodied tradition. His pictures polarized and divided the art-loving world. The press and general public alike were split over the question: For or against Klimt?This monograph explores Klimt's oeuvre with particular emphasis upon such contemporary voices. With a complete catalog of his paintings, including new photographs of the Stoclet Frieze commissioned exclusively for this book, it examines the reactions to Klimt's work throughout his career. Subjects range from Klimt's portrayal of women to his adoption of landscape painting. The theory that Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen to paper is also dispelled with the inclusion of 179 letters, cards, writings, and other documents from the artist.

Egon Schiele (1890 - 1918) is nowadays regarded as one of the leading pioneers of Modernism in Austria. Although he already enjoyed some success during his lifetime and came to be considered Austria's greatest artist following his death, his outstanding impo rtance for art was recognized only in the early 1950s. Rudolf Leopold, the early collector of Schiele who first became interested in Schiele in the 1950s, has been instrumental in raising the international profile of Egon Schiele. Today, his art treasures are housed in the Leopold Museum in Vienna, which holds the world's largest and most outstanding collection of works by Schiele. Diethard Leopold, the collector's son and author of this volume, naturally grew up with Schiele's works, developing a special affinity and familiarity with the artist and his works. In this monograph he examines the life of the painter, who died prematurely at the age of 28, and based on major works from every one of his creative periods he presents an artist who captivates the viewer with emotional subjects and technical ingenuity al ike. In the archive section of this volume, special finds from the rich trove of documents he left behind show the copious talent of Egon Schiele who not only excelled as a painter and graphic artist, but also awaits discovery for his expressionist poetry.
