Dumont Buchverlag

With the opening of the Leopold Museum in Vienna in 2001, a major assemblage of Austrian modernist masterpieces, including the world's largest collection of works by Egon Schiele, becomes available to public view for the first time. This beautifully produced book is the catalogue of the Leopold Museum's holdings, originally the private collection of Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold. Over 220 full-page illustrations present two centuries of Austrian paintings, drawings, and graphics as well as major objects of Austrian arts and crafts. 
The book opens with a brief history of the collection by Rudolf Leopold. Then, moving chapter by chapter through the collection, the catalogue traces the history of Austrian art beginning with the nineteenth-century paintings and drawings of Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, August von Pettenkofen, Anton Romako, Carl Schuch, and others; continuing with turn-of-the-century works by such artists as Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffmann and Kolo Moser; and proceeding through Austrian expressionism, represented by Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and Richard Gerstl. The book also offers separate discussions of the Austrian arts and crafts movement, collectors and collecting, and Expressionism. An appendix provides concise biographies of the artists.

History & Criticism

Egon Schiele, the Austrian painter, draftsman, and printmaker, was one of the major figures of Austrian Expressionism. This beautiful book discusses and reproduces 150 of Schiele's paintings, watercolors, gouaches, and drawings from the Leopold collection, which can now be seen in the new Schiele Museum in Austria.
While remaining faithful to the initial influences on his work of the Vienna Secession and in particular of the art of Gustav Klimt, Schiele developed a highly personal and expressive style. This style -- which reflects the sexual and psychological tension explored in writing by his contemporary Freud -- can be seen not only in his self-portraits and female nudes but also in his colorful paintings and watercolors of the Czech village of Krumau. Schiele's art defines the expressionist end of the Art Nouveau period in Vienna.
This book will be the catalogue for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, opening in October 1997 and closing in January, 1998.

Egon Schiele: Landscapes

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.

The Leopold Museum in Vienna is a Mecca for devotees of Egon Schiele as it houses the world's largest permanent collection of the artist's works. Comprising works from 1905 to 1918, the year of Schiele's death, this book features large-scale reproductions that allow readers to closely examine the artist's extraordinary use of line and colour. Presented chronologically, these works on paper are accompanied by insightful commentary. An introduction and biography of Schiele by Rudolf Leopold discuss the artist's influences, his controversial career, and his place in the pantheon of twentieth-century artists.

Now available in an attractive flexi-cover format, 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. Best known for his depictions of the human form, Schiele was also interested in portraying the beauty and structure of the world he inhabited. In fact, Schiele's paintings of the countryside and his native Vienna comprise a large portion of his body of work. Nearly one hundred of the artist's landscapes are exquisitely reproduced in this handsome book and presented alongside photographs of the scenes he depicted, taken from the vantage point of the original works. This volume proves that Schiele s mastery extends beyond his radical renditions of the human figure and reveals themes that appear throughout his work. Schiele's landscapes represent an important facet of his career and are a valuable contribution to the school of European nature painting.
