La obra de Egon Schiele es tan particular que se resiste a la categorizacin. Admitido en la Academia Vienesa de las Bellas Artes cuando apenas contaba con diecis(r)is aos, fue un artista de extraordinaria precocidad, cuya consumada habilidad en la manipulacin de las l neas le dio a sus obras una tersa expresividad. Profundamente convencido de su propia importancia como artista, Schiele logr mis en su corta existencia que muchos otros artistas en toda una vida. Sus ra ces se encontraban en los Jugendstil del movimiento de Secesin vien(r)s. Como toda una generacin, cay bajo la abrumadora influencia de los mis carismiticos y celebrados artistas vieneses, como Gustav Klimt. A su vez, Klimt reconoci el gran talento de Schiele y apoy al joven artista, que en slo un par de aos ya se alejaba del estilo sensual decorativo de su mentor. Alrededor de 1910, Schiele comenz un periodo de intensa creatividad, embarcado en una estoica exposicin de la forma humana, entre la que inclu a la suya propia, tan penetrante que es evidente que examinaba una anatom a mis psicolgica, espiritual y emocional que f sica. Pint muchos paisajes de pueblos y campos, hizo retratos formales y trat temas alegricos, pero fueron sus trabajos mis francos en papel, muchos de los cuales son abiertamente erticos, junto con su tendencia a usar modelos menores de edad, lo que hizo que Schiele fuera vulnerable a al censura moral. En 1912, fue encarcelado por sospecha de una serie de delitos entre los que se inclu a el secuestro, la violacin y la inmoralidad pblica. Los cargos mis graves terminaron por retirarse (todos excepto el de inmoralidad pblica) pero Schiele pas aproximadamente tres semanas terribles en prisin. Los c rculos expresionistas alemanes dieron una recepcin poco entusiasta a los trabajos de Schiele. Su compatriota Kokoschka obtuvo un (r)xito mayor entre ellos. Aunque admiraba a los artistas de Munich de Der Blaue Reiter, por ejemplo, ellos lo rechazaron. Mis tarde, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, su obra se volvi mejor conocida y en 1916, apareci en un ejemplar de la revista Berlinesa expresionista de izquierda, Die Aktion. Schiele era como un gusto adquirido. Desde muy joven se le consider un genio. Esto le gan el apoyo de un pequeo grupo de sufridos coleccionistas y admiradores, pero an as, durante varios aos de su vida, sus finanzas fueron precarias. Con frecuencia estaba endeudado y en ocasiones se ve a obligado a usar materiales baratos, pintando en papel para envolver o en cartn, en lugar de papel especial o en lienzos. No fue sino hasta 1918 que disfrut de su primer (r)xito pblico sustancial en Viena. Por desgracia, poco despu(r)s (r)l y su esposa Edith fueron v ctimas de la epidemia de influenza de 1918, la misma que acab con Klimt y con millones de personas mis, y murieron uno a los pocos d as del otro. Schiele ten a slo veintiocho aos de edad."

Like New in Good jacket. Size: 9x6x1; A 2" tear to dustjacket. Egon Leo Adolf Ludwig Schiele (1890-1918) was an Austrian Expressionist painter. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and for the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits.
