中文简介：

埃贡·席勒（Egon Schiele，1890-1918）摆脱了导师和榜样古斯塔夫·克里姆特（Gustav Klimt）的阴影后，他只有十年时间将自己的标志性风格载入现代史册，但西班牙流感却夺去了他的生命。作为一个非常清楚自己的天才的神童和一个充满热情的煽动者，这并没有被证明是一个太大的挑战。他憔悴、过度拉伸的身材、极端的性描写和自画像，在他的自画像中，他把自己描绘成瘦弱的面部表情。这些表达方式介于辉煌与疯狂之间，完全没有克里姆特的爱、性和向往的奉献赞美诗的装饰性。相反，席勒的作品讲述了一种残酷的诚实，一种会扰乱并不可逆转地改变维也纳社会的诚实。尽管他的作品后来被诽谤为“堕落”，一度几乎被完全遗忘，但它们影响了一代又一代的艺术家——从冈特布鲁斯到弗朗西斯从培根到特雷西·艾敏。如今，他当时被误解的作品继续在国际艺术市场上卖出高昂的价格。这本专着初以 XL 版出版，现在推出稍微删节、更紧凑的版本，以庆祝 TASCHEN 成立 40 周年，并收录了他的绘画和素描作品。回顾席勒一生丰硕的后十年。这些作品附有介绍他的生活和作品的文章，将这位奥地利大师置于欧洲表现主义的背景下，并描绘了他非凡的遗产。 关于该系列 TASCHEN 40 岁了！自 1980 年我们作为文化考古学家开始工作以来，TASCHEN 已成为无障碍出版的代名词，以无与伦比的价格帮助世界各地的书虫策划自己的艺术、人类学和椿药图书馆。金天，我们恪守公司信条，庆祝精彩图书问世 40 周年。 40 系列推出了我们项目中一些日月星的新版本 - 现在更加紧凑，价格更友好，并且仍然以同样的承诺实现了无可挑剔的生产。

英文简介：

After Egon Schiele (1890–1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had just ten years to inscribe his signature style into the annals of modernity before the Spanish flu claimed his life. Being a child prodigy quite aware of his own genius and a passionate provocateur, this didn’t prove to be too big a challenge.His haggard, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-portraits, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expressions bordering between brilliance and madness, had none of the decorative quality of Klimt’s hymns of love, sexuality and yearning devotion. Instead, Schiele’s work spoke of a brutal honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennese society.Although his works were later defamed as “degenerate” and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists―from Günter Brus and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market.This monograph, first published in an XL edition, is now available in a slightly abridged, more compact edition to celebrate TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary and features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele’s life. These works are accompanied by essays introducing his life and oeuvre, situating the Austrian master in the context of European Expressionism and charting his extraordinary legacy.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!
