Description: "Egon Schiele (1890-1918) is considered to be one of the pioneers of Austrian modernism together with Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. This volume approaches Schiele's fascinating works from a new perspective and introduces a paradigm change in the interpretation of his oeuvre. Inspiration from his private circumstances as well as from the art of antiquity, the Byzantine period and even the age of the Baroque provide the key to understanding Schiele's pictorial allegories, which have remained enigmatic to this day."
