Koloman Moser
"Admired by contemporaries as an artistic 'jack-of-all-trades', Koloman Moser (1868-1918) is regarded today as one of the most important representatives of the Viennese Secession of around 1900. As a graphic artist and designer Moser was unparalleled in his artistic diversity, creating furniture, textiles, and objects - for the Wiener Werkstätte among others - that are icons of Modernism, as well as leaving behind an impressive oeuvre of paintings"--Publisher's website.

The Faces of Egon Schiele
A lavishly produced volume of Egon Schiele's self-portraits. Egon Schiele's contorted and eccentric figures are among the most familiar and iconic images in twentieth-century art. A good many of those figures are self-portraits. Schiele returned to himself as a subject again and again over a period of many years, recording himself in various poses and styles. When he used his own body as a model, his interest often lay not in his actual self, but more generally in the position of the individual in the changing modern world. Posing in a variety of roles, Schiele uses his face like a mask. This beautifully produced book offers a comprehensive account of this crucial, yet underappreciated, aspect of Schiele's art.
Egon Schiele. Catalogue Raisonné
One of the most lavishly illustrated collections of Egon Schiele's work ever published, presented in an updated new edition. In 1972, Austrian collector Rudolf Leopold (1925-2010) published a landmark catalog raisonné of the work of painter Egon Schiele (1890-1918). Long out of print, Leopold's book now returns in an updated new edition that will introduce the next generation of art lovers to the work of one of Gustav Klimt's most talented protégés, known for his arresting self-portraits, sexually charged figure drawings, and haunting industrial landscapes. In addition to the color prints of Schiele's paintings and drawings, this book provides insight into the artist's life through letters, sketches, and documents, from his adolescence as an art student in fin de siècle Vienna to his death from flu after the close of World War I. Egon Schiele presents Schiele's paintings, watercolors, and drawings chronologically in large-format color plates, providing a comprehensive overview of the many works Schiele completed in his short life.
