Beschreibung:
This publication brings together the work of two Austrian artists{u2014}Gustav Klimt and his former student Egon Schiele. Although independent in their style and depiction of their subject, common threads are manifest in the oeuvre of both artists. The two share a certain anxiety and preoccupation with the erotic, yet stylistically Klimt's work is formally ordered and decorative while Schiele's work is unforgiving in its brutality. This exhibition focuses specifically on the output produced late within Klimt's career, while approaching Schiele's work from a retrospective standpoint. The catalogue discusses each artist separately and includes a chronology, essay, and an illustrated exhibition checklist, providing an engrossing insight into the work of two distinctive artists who can be credited with catalyzing the transition from Art Nouveau to Expressionism. When considered together the vibrancy and singularity of each body of work is made evident
