- Summary
- Egon Schiele: 27 Masterworks brings together a group of the artist's most significant works, including a cross-section of his major paintings and many of his most beautiful watercolors and drawings. A thorough overview of the oils enables the reader to understand the artist's overriding creative ambitions, but it is in his works on paper that Schiele truly stands out.
- As evidenced by the numerous oversize and superbly printed reproductions in this book, Schiele deserves to be counted among the foremost draftsmen of all time, ranking alongside Albrecht Durer and Hans Holbein.
- Egon Schiele: 27 Masterworks follows the entire trajectory of the artist's career, beginning with his early Gustav Klimt-influenced paintings and his startling Expressionist breakthrough in 1910 at the tender age of 20, to his more serene late works, completed shortly before his untimely death at the age of 28.
