His prolific portraits and self-portraits stunned the Viennese establishment with an unprecedented psychological and sexual intensity, favoring erotic, exposing, or unsettling poses in which he or his sitters cower on the floor, languish with legs akimbo, glower at the viewer, and thrust their genitalia into the foreground. His models are at times skeletal and sickly, at other times strong and sensual.Many contemporaries found Schiele’s work to be not only ugly but morally objectionable; in 1912, the artist was briefly imprisoned for obscenity. Today, his oeuvre is celebrated for its revolutionary approach to the human figure and for its direct and particularly fervent, almost furious brand of draftsmanship. This book presents key Schiele works to introduce his short but urgent career and his profound contribution to the development of modern art, which reaches right through to such contemporary talents as Tracey Emin and Jenny Saville. Review: Such A Short Productive Life - Dead of influenza at age 27/28, the number and range of works he managed to paint in that short time span is amazing. Although I'm not a big fan of his landscapes , I do love the Klimt-inspired work and those stylized representations of the human form that have come to be recognized uniquely as Schiele's own. This book does a good job of showcasing the variety of Sciele's art, but more so than most Taschen books, it contains considerable narrative discussing the artist's work, resulting in smaller and fewer depictions of that art. Review: Love His Art & Love This Book - I have been collecting books on my favorite Artists by Taschen for a while now. I had this book in smaller soft cover and I wanted to get the hard cover for my coffee table collection. Well, it turns out that my sister who just bought a house was looking for some good hard cover books for her book shelf so poof! All my coffee table collection is gone. The good thing is that when I am visiting her, I can always enjoy it there. Meanwhile I have my soft cover and it is wonderful. All in this series are great books to collect. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #204,590 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #159 in European Art History #236 in Individual Artist Monographs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 164 Reviews | ## Images ![Schiele - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FNe9O8JUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such A Short Productive Life *by L***N on September 22, 2024* Dead of influenza at age 27/28, the number and range of works he managed to paint in that short time span is amazing.

I had this book in smaller soft cover and I wanted to get the hard cover for my coffee table collection. Well, it turns out that my sister who just bought a house was looking for some good hard cover books for her book shelf so poof! All my coffee table collection is gone.

All in this series are great books to collect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Schiele (25) *by B***L on December 26, 2012* A fair representation of the artist's evolution, starting with evidence of his great artistic talent in conventional portraits and ending with cartoonish expressions of unconscious forces with his subjects. His later art fulfilled the purpose of art: to shock. Walking the fuzzy line of pornography was sanctioned by the fashionable interest displayed by the narcissistic elite of 1900 Vienna in the "unconscious" and Sigmund Freud. Unlike portraits of revoltingly ugly naked fat old men favored by his contemporary, Julian Freud, Shiele's work escapes nausea with his fascinating innovative style of draftsmanship. Some of his fine landscapes are included. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/58867158-schiele](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/58867158-schiele) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
