Egon Schiele: Drawings And Watercolors
Product ID: 181522077
Austrian expressionist egon schiele produced a prolific body of work before his early death at the age of twenty-eight in 1918. The oeuvre is comprised of a few hundred oil paintings and thousands of drawings and watercolors. 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 Features a previously unpublished schiele watercolour and several works that have never been reproduced in color. Review: Perfect - A must book for Schiele lovers. Review: It disappointed. Otherwise it's good - Book size is small. It disappointed. Otherwise it's good.

Qualità eccezionale
Piccolo nel formato ma ottimo nei contenuti. La resa delle immagini stampate ( a colori) è veramente molto buona. E' una raccolta completa di tutte le opere di schile divise per anno e precedute da un descrizione che ne spiega a grandi linee le caratterische principali e lo stile adottato in quel particolare periodo che rifletteva, ovviamente, le problematiche del vissuto quotidiano dell'artista. E' in inglese. La copertina del mio libro è arrivata leggermente rovinata, sarà stato pressato malamente durante il trasposto. Ma non è un problema. Per il costo al quale è venduto è decisamente un'ottimo prodotto editoriale.

SENSACIONAL
Apesar do tamanho do livro ser pequeno , pelo menos é compensado pela capa dura e a jaqueta protetiva dele. quanto ao conteúdo? SENSACIONAL....... varias fases de Schiele, rascunhos para obras finais .... Rascunhos Raisoneé, todos muito numerosos, o livro é enorme ( numero de páginas , ricamente ilustrado ) recomendadíssimo.

エゴンシーレファンより
エゴンシーレのファンです。でも、普通の本屋に行っても、ゴッホやモネの画集はあってもなかなかエゴンシーレのものには出会えません。中も見ないで本を買うのには勇気がいりますが、神田の古本屋街を足で探す苦労を考えると有難いです。 古書ですから、新品同様というわかにはいきませんが、手に入れたことで、満足しています。
