Egon Schiele: Paintings, Water-colours, Drawings

The monograph on Egon Schiele edited by Rudolf Leopold in 1972 forms the basis for Egon Schieles world fame. This important document of art-historical literature has long been out of print, but it is now available once more in a revised edition with an updated catalogue raisonné. At the same time this magnificent volume provides an insight into the artists life through letters, sketches and documents.

Rudolf Leopold recognised back in the 1950s Schieles outstanding significance for art. He was largely responsible for ensuring that the artist received the place he deserved in art history and public awareness. The monograph presented Schieles paintings, watercolours and drawings chronologically in large-format colour plates. It is complemented by a profound examination of his motifs, studies, sketches and documents and provides a comprehensive overview. The current edition pays tribute to Leopolds achievement and the revised catalogue raisonné reflects the current state of research. See more
