Reviews
Austrian Expressionist painter Schiele (1890-1918) broke away from the decorative Vienna Secession style, especially that of Gustav Klimt, and developed his own technique using simple lines and bold colors to express intensity of emotions, suffering, and isolation. Schiele's obsession with sexuality and death is seen in the artist's self-portraits and nude female studies characterized by grotesque grimaces, contorted limbs, exposed genitals, and sorrowful, often corpselike expressions. Schiele's final work, a chilling drawing of his wife on her deathbed, exemplifies his superb draftsmanship. This catalog for a recent exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) presents the most extensive collection of Schiele's work, held in the Leopold Museum in Vienna. The collector who founded the Austrian museum, Leopold contributes insightful textual notes for the 152 color plates, while MOMA curator Dabrowski provides the clear introduction. Strongly recommended for general and modern art history collections.?Joan Levin, MLS, Chicago
