Rejected by his family and hounded by society for his interest in young girls, he expressed through his art a deep and bewildering loneliness and an obsession with sexuality, death and decay. Schiele was only twenty-eight when he died, yet he left behind him a body of work that sustains a huge public reputation – and a myth. This book sets out to examine both.

Press Reviews

Short, pithy, telling biography … as good and thorough an introduction to the contradictions and complexities of Schiele’s art, life and times as could be hoped for
Apollo
