item details

Important book as it gives a human face to what is now to many an enigmatic presence based on his self-portraits. Just some of the photos are scanned below and you get a sense of the man and his world - the world from which these important works emanated from. You see, Schiele was actually born, had parents and sisters - he didn't just come down from on height. painted and drew for a little while, then vanished like a Prophet!

I found it interesting that unlike Egon, his two sisters both lived long lives, passing away in the 1970s and 80s.

At last, a chance to see a few scans from this book before you buy. The low quality scans below will give you a flavour of this handy book. The book itself is a 100 times better.

The book is available from amazon.co.uk and a direct link is here.

All images are now 'tagged', ie: a jpeg code [or invisible electronic watermarking] is installed in the image or deliberate 'flow coding' is added to some text. Regular searches are made for the tags, by a third party, automated Bot. Note that even copied, resized, images still carry the tag and even re-written text will transfer the tag when you upload.
