Egon Schiele Portraits

Exhibition at the Neue Galerie, New York, 9 October 2014 - 20 April 2015

Egon Schiele (1890-1918) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. A superb draftsman and colorist, he produced images of startling emotional power.

This exhibition catalogue focuses on five groupings of the artist's work: family and academy, fellow artists, sitters and patrons, lovers, and allegory. In addition, it features a special section on a traumatic and pivotal period in Schiele's life: his arrest and imprisonment during the summer of 1912. The book documents the artist's changing style, both pre- and post-imprisonment, and features the works that have been assembled for the exhibition.
