Vienna’s controversial prodigy: Expressive nudes, strange movements
Egon Schiele (1890–1918) is the painter who had the most long-lasting influence on the Vienna art scene after the great era of Klimt came to a close. After a short flirtation with the style of Klimt, his mentor, Schiele soon questioned the aesthetic orientation to the beautiful surface of the Viennese Art Nouveau with his rough and not easily accessible paintings.
Many contemporaries found Schiele’s expressive nudes and self-portraits, with their strange movements and morbid colours, to be ugly and even morally objectionable—criticism which culminated in criminalizing the painter as ‘obscene’ and resulted in 1912 in an indictment and short jail sentence. However, not even his harshest critics could dispute the artist’s extraordinary drawing talent. This book gives a concise overview of the brief, brilliant career of Egon Schiele.

开始以为只是一本简单的画册,实际上介绍了当时的社会背景和流行知识背景的大环境,印象派和装饰主义的异同等等很多背景知识,以及对席勒个人的分析,获益匪浅,读完了更明白自己为什么喜欢席勒了。准备再买几本同系列的画册学习一下。

评分最初注意到席勒源于《学生托乐思的迷惘》封面所用“Double Self-Portrait”一画。一直觉得他的气质与李贺相仿——敏感的神经外化为自由的形式与浓烈的色彩,耽于死亡意象又早逝于二十多岁。没想到Taschen所出Basic Art系列的小书也能有较为全面而精到的阐述,甚至启发了我当下关注的论题,这也算是意外收获了。印刷一如既往地好。
