Although he lived only twenty-eight years--dying quite suddenly of influenza in 1918 just as World War I came to an end--he left a stunning pictorial oeuvre. Schiele's obsession with sexuality, his own and that of others, made him at once a voyeur and a participant in that sexual imperative which Freud was concurrently plumbing with such unsettling results. The disturbing revelations of Schiele's unmasking portraiture and of the new science of psychology disclosed a collective cultural anxiety during the last years of the crumbling Austrian empire. Schiele was disturbingly dualistic: his provocative explorations of erotica with their startlingly modern sensibilities do not prepare the viewer for the tenderness revealed in his lyrical landscapes and mostly unpeopled town scenes. These emit a haunting loneliness and are related to an obsession with pathos expressed in the artist's melancholy allegories and existential portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9781632931672\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActual Book Cover May Vary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunstone Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49626901184806,"sku":"9781632931672","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/4a9b1ddb-851e-519d-add9-443df256cdab.jpg?v=1727645207","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/egon-schiele-new-edition","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
