A chronological presentation of Egon Shielle’s landscape paintings, commencing with works produced when he was only sixteen. Each painting is reproduced in colour on one page with brief informative explanatory notes on the facing page, and invariably with additional photographs usually of the actual scene depicted in the painting, and occasionally Shielle’s own preliminary sketches. The book concludes with a brief illustrated biography, and bibliography. A most informative and beautifully illustrated publication with text kept to a minimum and free from pompous waffle. ( ) people think of Schiele as the one with the whores masturbating, etc., but his landscapes, especially newly naked planted trees with stakes are particularly touching if you know how they really look -- so vulnerable. well, draw your own conclusions...but it's important to look at things for what they are. If you like German Expressionism then add this book to your library. Although Schiele's most important contribution to modern art was his extraordinary ability to draw with a few well placed lines a living, breathing human being, his landscapes/townscapes reveal another and very different side of himself. There are no people in these pictures. His paintings of his mother's hometown, Krumau, make the place look like a ghost town. Only laundry hanging on a clothesline indicates human habitation. Otherwise all is silent. These are very eerie scenes painted by a brilliant modernist, who insisted there was no such thing as modern art: "Art is eternal." Indeed it is. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
This visually stunning collection of landscape paintings and drawings by Egon Schiele brings to light a little-known aspect of this famous painter's oeuvre, proving that his mastery extends beyond his radical renditions of the human figure and revealing themes that appeared throughout his life's work. While Schiele is largely revered for his provocative paintings of women, these works were just one aspect of his artistic expression. Schiele's landscapes represent an important facet of his career and are a valuable contribution to the school of European nature painting. No library descriptions found. |
