Egon Schiele, who died in 1918 at the age of twenty-eight, was perhaps the most talented and most tortured spirit of his generation of Expressionist painters. The brilliant pupil of Klimt, he is perhaps best known for the extraordinary intensity of his coloured figure drawings, the eroticism of which resulted in his imprisonment in 1912. Dr. Comini has compiled a rich selection of Schiele's work including forty-eight portraits, allegories and landscapes in full colour. Her introductory text describes his all too short life in the setting of pre-war Austria and the Expressionist school of the time, and a unique feature if this book is the twenty-three page 'Schiele photograph album' containing fifty photographs of the artist, his family and friends.
