Egon Schiele: Desire and Decay

"Hindering the artist is a crime," wrote Viennese artist Egon Schiele in 1912. At the time, Schiele, whose favorite subjects were female nudes and self-portraits, was in prison for disseminating immoral drawings. This 25th anniversary edition presents a study of this seminal and provocative artist, examining both Schiele's life and work through all the major oil paintings and many of his erotic drawings.
