Description - Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes by Christian Bauer
This book highlights the intimate relationship between landscape and portraiture in the work of the Austrian Expressionist artis Egon Shiele. Plants, natural environments, and townscapes determine the spaces Egon Schiele created in his paintings, and they also reflect the rich symbolism he employed that is centred around the human condition. In particular, plants are often endowed with an allegorical meaning. Flowers and trees assume the role of portrait subjects and convey an almost human appearance. Schiele's landscapes always represent more than their apparent subject matter. His portrayal of nature and his rendering of towns and trees epitomise the life cycle and the human condition. This book, accompanying a spectacular exhibition at the Neue Galerie New York, will investigate the importance of landscape in the artist's work. The contributing authors are internationally distinguished experts on Schiele's landscapes and representatives of museums and universities in Europe and the United States. AUTHOR: Christian Bauer is Founding Director of the State Gallery of Lower Austria in Krems. A specialist on Egon Schiele, he has written numerous essays on the artist and edited books on him as well, including 'Egon Schiele: The Beginning' and 'Egon Schiele: Almost a Lifetime.' 180 illustrations
