EGON SCHIELE EROS AND PASSION, by Klaus Albrecht Schroder, Published by Prestel, Copyright 1995 Prestel-Verlag, Munich and New York, Printed in Germany, ISBN: 3-7913-1383-5 Hardcover (9 ½” x 6 ½”)

A bright, clean, tight copy sans tears, stains, discoloration, etc. with all text and illustrations clean/unmarked. "Austrian Expressionism proclaims that art itself is a violation of society's conventions and norms. No other artist in early twentieth-century Vienna depicted the body with such radical candor as Egon Schiele. A preoccupation with Eros, sexuality, and death pervades his entire oeuvre, his insatiable curiosity and new developments in erotic and psychiatric photography driving him to explore the shift in relationship between the visible and the invisible, the depictable and the undepictable in launching his pictorial fantasy of bodies of men and women in general and the artist in particular." PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full color and black-and-white photographic reproductions of Schiele's paintings (many full page) with accompanying descriptive captions.
