內容簡介 奧地利表現主義先驅埃貢‧席勒精髓之作收錄維也納利奧波德博物館140組典藏作品本畫冊精選維也納利奧波德博物館140件20世紀初繪畫鉅子埃貢‧席勒(1890-1918年)的作品，可說是席勒職業生涯作品最全面及精華的作品全集。完整收錄席勒早期創作、最能代表表現主義時期的作品及他死前的最後遺作等。其中著名作品如1910年創作的自畫像《Seated Male Nude》及1912年《隱士》(猜測畫中主角可能是知名畫家古斯塔夫‧克林姆)，除了肖像畫，席勒在風景畫也表現精湛，例如作品《Houses by the Sea》。每件作品，都充分展現席勒無與倫比的繪畫天份與獨到的眼光，同時邀請奧地利知名學者及收藏家夫婦Elisabeth Leopold及Rudolf Leopold等人解析席勒的畫作。 Featuring over 140 masterpieces, this new book draws on the unsurpassed Schiele collection of Vienna's Leopold MuseumThis volume gathers some 140 paintings, watercolors and drawings by Egon Schiele from the Leopold Museum in Vienna, which famously possesses the world’s most comprehensive and eminent collection of works by this most beloved of modern artists. It covers all periods of Schiele’s oeuvre, with examples of his earliest creations, his renowned Expressionist period and the work created shortly before his untimely death.Among the classic Schiele paintings housed in the collection are the “Seated Male Nude” (a self-portrait) of 1910 and “The Hermits” of 1912 (probably depicting Schiele with Gustav Klimt). Cityscapes constitute another emphasis in Schiele’s oeuvre as well as landscapes including “Houses by the Sea.”Throughout the book, numerous full-page illustrations afford exceptional insight into Schiele’s genius for line and color. Essays by Elisabeth Leopold, Rudolf Leopold, Franz Smola and Birgit Summerauer outline the milieu and career of this provocative artist but also highlight Schiele’s place among the great masters of the 20th century.The epitome of Viennese modernism, Egon Schiele (1890–1918) developed an anti-academic style of rendering figures, which are only rarely shown head-on or in full length, appearing contorted by their compositional arrangement. After brief service in the army during World War 1, Schiele died of a pandemic influenza on 31 October 1918.
