Ebook: Egon Schiele

Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is one of the great Expressionist painters. He was taught by Gustav Klimt and, at a very early age, like his Viennese Secession predecessors, broke with the traditions of official Austrian art. His numerous self-portraits and nude models remained consistent throughout his career and reflected his erotic, sensual and tormented vision of art. This title presents a biography of the artist and a commentary that enable us to learn about his controversial works.
