Natter T.G., Egon Schiele. The Paintings — 2022 (40 Years of Taschen)
After Egon Schiele (1890-1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had justten years to inscribe his signature style into the allals 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 haggart, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-prttrais, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expression 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 brutel honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennesse society. Although his works were later defamed as "degenerate" and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists - from Gunter Brus, and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market. This monograph features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele s life. These works are accompanied by essays introduciing his life and oeuvre, situating the Austrian master in the context of European Expressionism and charting his extraordinary legacy.Спустя столетие после своей смерти Эгон Шиле продолжает ошеломлять своими ломаными линиями, искаженными телами и эротизмом. В этой книге представлен полный каталог его картин 1909-1918 годов, около 600 иллюстраций, многие из которых недавно сфотографированы, наряду с мнениями экспертов и личными записями Шиле. Своим революционным и свободным взглядом на обнаженное тело и сексуальность Эгон Шиле решительно вписал себя в историю искусства в начале прошлого века. Даже сегодня женщины и автопортреты, написанные enfant dangerous венской современной эпохи, по-прежнему производят волнующее и смелое впечатление. Все они были созданы в последнее десятилетие его короткой жизни.
