Egon Schiele (1890 - 1918) is nowadays regarded as

one of the leading pioneers of Modernism in

Austria. Although he already enjoyed some success

during his lifetime and came to be considered

Austria's greatest artist following his death, his

outstanding impo rtance for art was recognized only

in the early 1950s. Rudolf Leopold, the early collector of Schiele who

first became interested in Schiele in the 1950s, has

been instrumental in raising the international

profile of Egon Schiele. Today, his art treasures are

housed in the Leopold Museum in Vienna, which

holds the world's largest and most outstanding

collection of works by Schiele. Diethard Leopold,

the collector's son and author of this volume,

naturally grew up with Schiele's works, developing

a special affinity and familiarity with the artist and

his works.

In this monograph he examines the life

of the painter, who died prematurely at the age of

28, and based on major works from every one of

his creative periods he presents an artist who

captivates the viewer with emotional subjects and

technical ingenuity al ike. In the archive section of

this volume, special finds from the rich trove of

documents he left behind show the copious talent

of Egon Schiele who not only excelled as a painter

and graphic artist, but also awaits discovery for his

expressionist poetry.
