Egon Schiele: Drawings and Watercolors

By Jane Kallir
Edited by Ivan Vartanian

"Crammed with page after page of stunning colour prints...punctuated with useful, well-written chapters about the Austrian artist’s life and work"―Artists & Illustrators

"…this authoritative and beautifully produced account of one of the most compelling figures in modern art is an unmissable bargain"―RA Magazine

Schiele’s oils have often been reproduced and are well recognized. However, limited access to the fragile works on paper and dispersion among several collections have made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman.

This book assembles drawings and watercolors from public and private collections and reproduces work from every year of the artist’s career, beginning with the juvenilia and early academic studies. The focus means that work that is rarely reproduced is represented extensively, providing a unique opportunity to study the rapid artistic development of Schiele over the course of his brief twelve-year career.

The book is organized chronologically and divided into year-by-year sections. Each section includes a text that discusses the major events in Schiele’s life and the interrelation between the artist’s drawing and developments in his oil painting. Features a previously unpublished Schiele watercolor and several works that have never been reproduced in color.
