The Other Side of Egon Schiele: Sensual Landscapes April 15, 2005
Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States)
30 out of 30 found this review helpful
Egon Schiele lived for only a brief period of time and yet in that lifetime he, more than any other artist of the fin de siecle, made visual the probings of the human psyche as explored by Sigmund Freud. His inumerable portraits of young nude girls, his insistence on the viability of human sensual responses, and his lack of temerity in producing many self-portraits nude and aroused made him a sensation in his time and now has placed him in the echelon of the most collectable artists from the last century. br / br /But equally important to both Schiele and to the public who knew little of his full output are his avante garde landscapes. This book, well written by Rudolf Leopold, serves to bring appreciation to these magnificent landscapes. Leopold has the graciousness to include photographs of the areas in and around where Schiele lived, views which Schiele painted repeatedly but never with the same vantage or color effects. Whether the views are vast horizons made puzzle-like with his drawing/painting technique, flowers flattened in perspective to emphasize design, or photo-like fragments of streets and houses, they are all equally successful in proving that Schiele was a fine draughtsman and inventive colorist. br / br /This book is large in format that serves to lay the framework for the excellent color reproductions. Some art books are ones that, once read, are relegated to the coffee table. EGON SCHIELE: LANDSCAPES is a beautiful volume that begs for repeated readings and viewings. Highly recommended.
