Product Description
Today considered one of most important post-Klimt Austrian artists, Egon Schiele (18901918) received little recognition during his short life. His favorite subjects, female nudes and self-portraits, sound a note of defiance, provocation, and rebellion. This study examines his life and work through all the major oils and many of his erotic drawings.

reviews
Egon Schiele, 1890-1918: Desire and Decay (Midsize) (Spanish Edition) 
The book arrived in good condition and in the expected time. The only difference is that I ask for it in Spanish and it arrived in English, but for me is the same. Anyway I am enjoing it very much, as I enjoy all the books I buy from Amazon.

Great reproductions with helpful commentary and biographical information.
This is another welcome addition to Taschen's 25th Anniversary Series of large, hardcover collections. You get excellent reproductions of many of Egon Schiele's finest work along with Wolfgang Georg Fischer's expert commentary. Besides the works themselves, I found the most valuable part of the book to be the historical and biographical information. Fischer gives the necessary perspective with which to view Schiele's sometimes difficult work without being excessively wordy or academic. I love academic writing as much as anyone, but I think the intended audience here is not going to want to wade through pages of theoretical discourse. In addition to the paintings, there are some photographs of Schiele, his family, and his colleagues. After looking at his numerous self-portraits and (especially) the paintings of his wife, it's fascinating to see photographs of them in a casual context. Schiele's style may not appeal to everyone, but this book is an excellent place to begin your appreciation, especially at Taschen's extremely low price. When you look at all the $3-12k limited edition books they release, it's nice that they remember that poor college students enjoy great art books too!
