About the author

Egon Schiele was an Austrian painter, a protégé of Gustav Klimt, and a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. Schiele's body of work is noted for the intensity and the large number of self-portraits he produced. The twisted body shapes that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings make the artist a notable exponent of Expressionism. The most important collection of Schiele's work is housed in the Leopold Museum, Vienna.

Belle le poesie e bella l'edizione, con riproduzioni dei quadri dell 'autore. Piacevole scoperta, ignoravo che Schiele avesse scritto delle poesie. Interessante anche l'introduzione.
