Schiele - Taschen book

Egon Schiele was only 28 years old when he died of the flu in Spain in 1918, but with a rich portfolio he left behind, he continues to shock and influence. This monograph examines the artist's provocative, often pornographic style that shook Viennese society and created some of the most insightful and haunting portraits in art history.
