520 _a"During his brief yet prolific career, Egon Schiele created hundreds of drawings, watercolors, and oil paintings of the women in his life. His work is generally regarded as expressionistic, emotional, intense, autobiographical, and highly sexual. In this elegant and beautifully illustrated book, Jane Kallir examines Schiele's depictions of women to argue that there is more to these images than we realize. Drawing from the latest research as well as her own exhaustive familiarity with Schiele's entire oeuvre, Kallir explores four distinct periods, each characterized by a single figure or series of women: the artist's mother and sisters; the often anonymous models of the "breakthrough" years, 1910-11; his lover, Wally Neuzil; and his wife, Edith, and her sister, Adele. Weaving together historical context, biographical information, and observations of the works, Kallir demonstrates how these women relate not only to Schiele's development but to the larger issue of feminine representation. Kallir offers a panoply of significant insights into a central aspect of the artist's achievement, which has never before been the subject of a focused study. Schiele's fans will treasure this beautiful and groundbreaking addition to the literature on this important artist"--

520 _a"In this authoritative and lavishly illustrated volume, the renowned Schiele authority Jane Kallir focuses on the artist's images of women, offering fresh insight into a central aspect of Schiele's achievement that has never before been the subject of a focused study. Drawing on the latest scholarship as well as her own exhaustive familiarity with Schiele's oeuvre, Kallir begins with a general overview of gender and culture in early twentieth-century Austria. Subsequent chapters focus on the women who dominated Schiele's life and art: the artist's mother and sisters; his early girlfriends; his first serious partner, Wally Neuzil; and his wife, Edith. Deftly weaving together cultural context, biography, and commentary on the artworks, Kallir reveals how Schiele's women reflect the artist's shifting views of female sexuality as well as changing representations of the female nude in the age of Expressionism"--
