5.0 out of 5 stars Love His Art & Love This Book

I have been collecting books on my favorite Artists by Taschen for a while now. I had this book in smaller soft cover and I wanted to get the hard cover for my coffee table collection. Well, it turns out that my sister who just bought a house was looking for some good hard cover books for her book shelf so poof! All my coffee table collection is gone. The good thing is that when I am visiting her, I can always enjoy it there. Meanwhile I have my soft cover and it is wonderful. All in this series are great books to collect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Schiele (25)
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012

A fair representation of the artist's evolution, starting with evidence of his great artistic talent in conventional portraits and ending with cartoonish expressions of unconscious forces with his subjects. His later art fulfilled the purpose of art: to shock. Walking the fuzzy line of pornography was sanctioned by the fashionable interest displayed by the narcissistic elite of 1900 Vienna in the "unconscious" and Sigmund Freud. Unlike portraits of revoltingly ugly naked fat old men favored by his contemporary, Julian Freud, Shiele's work escapes nausea with his fascinating innovative style of draftsmanship. Some of his fine landscapes are included.

Was nervous about buying since there weren’t many reviews but this product exceeded my expectations. Really nice for just a basic artist book, and the images colors aren’t distorted.

4.0 out of 5 stars In Schiele's Hands
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2011
Verified Purchase
In Shiele's hands is a confident line and an uncensored, cooly critical appraising eye. His self portraits, angular, emaciated, naked place the viewer in the position of voyeur and Schiele the exhibitionist. His rendering of hands are boney, expressive, at times grasping with their black outlines across the body.

His female nudes are unforgiving, distorted, fleshy, grotesque and, at times, with a dismemberment that is confronting. His painting, The Embrace, so resembles the work of the much later, Lucien Freud that I would not be surprised if Schiele was one of Freud's artistic influences.

This book includes Schiele's early works, the influence of Klimt on his work, his later abstractions and landscapes. The text provides a fascinating insight into this complex artist.

I'm not an art student, but I'm very interested in turn of the last century Vienna because I am interested in trying to understand the causes of the first world war.
