Striking and provocative even today, these works led both artists into controversy (and even a brief imprisonment for Schiele) during their creators' lifetimes. Klimt advised, \"Whoever wants to know something about me as an artist ought to look carefully at my pictures and try to recognize in them what I am and what I want.\" This album of unforgettable drawings from the collection of the Albertina Museum, Vienna, provides a direct connection to the minds of two master draftsmen exploring the limits of representation, as well as the shock of recognition at seeing our own inner selves caught on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGustav Klimt\u003c\/b\u003e (1862-1918) and \u003cb\u003eEgon Schiele\u003c\/b\u003e (1890-1918) were two of the most daring and controversial artists in Vienna during the culturally turbulent decades around the turn of the 20th century. They worked out their provocative depictions of the human body, created in a search for psychological truth as well as physical realism, in the direct and intimate medium of drawing. In Klimt's studies, the distinctive character or unsettling emotional resonance of the person portrayed comes through in the artist's delicate, sinuous lines. The striking presence of the individual in Schiele's more finished drawings, often rendered with extreme frankness and bold coloration, pulses with dramatic immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11325262\"\u003eKatie Hanson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MFA Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 14.20h x 11.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878468522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878468528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART015100\"\u003eHistory | Modern (Late 19th Century to 1945)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART006010\"\u003eCollections, Catalogs, Exhibitions | Group Shows\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART010000\"\u003eTechniques | Drawing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"MFA Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886191227167,"sku":"0878468528","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_b6807c2f-774e-4bf8-b1b9-d8af20eaf562.jpg?v=1719769011","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/klimt-and-schiele-drawings-9780878468522","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
