Egon Schiele: Drawings and Watercolors

10 reviews

Thames & Hudson, 2003

Shows Schiele's Progression as an Artist
There are three things that I liked about this book: (1) great art well reproduced. The colors are well saturated and vibrant. (2) Each section begins with a brief history of the artist's life and points out how his work changed (or didn't) during that period in his life. (3) There are enough illustrations so that you can truly observe his progression and maturation as an artist. Schiele ...

Jane Kallir

Harry N. Abrams, 1995

Paintings by Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) are featured here in 25 large reproductions, many enriched with gold and silver. Every painting is accompanied by a brief commentary examining its place in the artist's development, the circumstances of the commission, and the role of the subject in Klimt's personal world in turn-of-the-century Vienna.

A rare find
Not much is available on Paula Modersohn-Becker that explores her art and her life, without tagging her to Rilke, her husband, other artists in her commune, etc. I believe this is the first monograph on P.M.-B. You'll be amazed by the artist's work, its beauty and foresight, and the facts of her brief life.

THE REAL GRANDMA MOSES
This is a wonderful and beautifully illustrated book filled with Grandma Moses' life and her art work. I ordered it as a classroom aid for a presentation on her life, and I was amazed at how much was compiled in this selection. The biography is very thorough and her colorful landscapes are quite breathtaking. The captions along side her masterpieces give the reader an insight into this ...

Egon Schiele
This is one of the best "coffee table" style art books featuring Schiele that I've seen. The layout is aesthetic and lots of good biographic information as well. Highly recommended.

Viennese Design and the Wiener Werkstatte

Equally influential, and still tremendously popular today, are the designs of the Wiener Werkstatte, or Vienna Workshop, a group that was at the heart of the city's cultural scene and whose collaborators included such luminaries as the architect Josef Hoffman, the designer ...

Alfred Kubin : Visions from the Other Side

Jane Kallir

Johannes Pr, 1983

"MUST-READ" FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THE "FANTASTIC"
Only novel of the artist and illustrator Alfred Kubin (1877-1959), link between pre-World War I Austro-Hungary and the modern, post-war Central Europe. As such immensely important. Oppressive atmosphere throughout. Excellent example of the "Fantastic" in the literature of the German-speaking countries.
