Description from the seller
You're bidding on a lot with three books by/on Egon Schiele.
Egon Schiele was an Austrian Expressionist painter who, despite his short life, had a major influence on Modernist figurative painting in the 20th century. Notorious during his time for his bold portrayals of human sexuality, he has remained a subject of fascination and controversy to this day. Unlike his friend and mentor Gustav Klimt, Schiele's paintings and drawings are compositionally bare, focusing on a stylized representation of the human figure that features exaggerated musculature and a special focus given to the extremities: digits, hair, breasts, and genitalia are all rendered with particular care. Schiele's legacy is incalculably influential, and his work can be found in important cultural collections like The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna.
