Book Description
One of the most famous of the Expressionists, Schiele evolved a highly personal art, strongly influenced by the Art Nouveau style. This treasury includes 44 of his finest drawings — portraits, character studies, nudes, more — all embodying the artist's distinctive and angular expressivity, revealing the inner psychological states and hidden personality traits of his subjects.

This review is from: Schiele Drawings: 44 Works (Paperback)
dover art library books are a great way to get copies of master drawings...cheap. all prints are in b/w and print quailty isn't the best...but for the price they are a great unprecious alternative to the glove wearing 60$ art book.

Black and White?,
By Lydia Richardson "seneschal" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Schiele Drawings: 44 Works (Paperback)
This book is great for the $7 price, just let me preface with that remark. The book is also of a pretty good size.On the downside, and this is a big one for me- There are more than just drawings in this book. Many of the works are drawings with Gouache and Watercolor, and are still printed in black and white. While all the works print up okay in black and white, with little loss as to the line work, the fact that the originals are in color makes me a little sad. If you are interested at all in any more than the line quality of Schiele's works, get one of the more expensive collections of his works, which include color plates. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Wonderful artwork, cheap presentation,
By Casey G. Hancock "Listener" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Schiele Drawings: 44 Works (Paperback)
This book contains some wonderful drawings, but the book itself is made of very cheap materials. The paper is somewhere between newsprint and construction paper. However, this hardly detracts from the artwork itself, as Schiele's rough sketches feel right at home on rough paper. Perhaps it's for the best. Buy it for the art, not so you'll have a beautiful book to put on the coffee table. A child might mistake it for a coloring book, and that child would be forever disturbed.
