Egon Schiele - Catalogue raisonne: Paintings, Watercolours, Drawings

The monograph on Egon Schiele edited by Rudolf Leopold in 1972 forms the basis for Egon Schiele-s world fame. This important document of art-historical literature has long been out of print, but it is now available once more in a revised edition with an updated catalogue raisonné. At the same time this magnificent volume provides an insight into the artist-s life through letters, sketches and documents. Rudolf Leopold recognised back in the 1950s Schiele-s outstanding significance for art. He was largely responsible for ensuring that the artist received the place he deserved in art history and public awareness. The monograph presented Schiele-s paintings, watercolours and drawings chronologically in large-format colour plates. It is complemented by a profound examination of his motifs, studies, sketches and documents and provides a comprehensive overview. The current edition pays tribute to Leopold-s achievement.
