Now available in an attractive flexi-cover

format, this visually stunning collection of

landscape paintings and drawings by Egon

Schiele brings to light a little-known aspect

of this famous painter's oeuvre. Best known for his depictions of the human form, Schiele was

also interested in portraying the beauty and structure of the

world he inhabited. In fact, Schiele s paintings of the

countryside and his native Vienna comprise a large portion of

his body of work. Nearly one hundred of the artist s

landscapes are exquisitely reproduced in this handsome book

and presented alongside photographs of the scenes he

depicted, taken from the vantage point of the original works.

This volume proves that Schiele s mastery extends beyond his

radical renditions of the human figure and reveals themes that

appear throughout his work. Schiele's landscapes represent an

important facet of his career and are a valuable contribution to

the school of European nature painting.
