different path, which led him to a personal interpretation of expressionism. Each year of his existence could be compared to broken strings creating a unique music. The eternal relationship between sadness and beauty seems to be the most fitting key to Schiele's work and, undoubtedly, this key is in the truly Viennese spirit. For Egon Schiele, people and flowers, houses along the waterfront, and the winter dawn belong to the same aesthetic category. All of them wither, those as well as these, transitioning from beauty to anxiety. If fresh sunflowers and blooming gardens by Klimt resonate with the tranquil and lush gardens of Monet, then the same sunflowers in Schiele's version appear even more weary than in Van Gogh's; they bend with the same despair as the fingers in the portraits of his contemporaries. Schiele left behind thousands of drawings and 300 paintings, exhibited today in the most famous museums in the world. This colorful album with numerous magnificent illustrations tells about the life and work of the great Austrian artist. The publication features the most famous canvases of the great master.
