Egon Schiele Catalogue Raisonné : Paintings Watercolors Drawings Rudolf Leopold ( second Edition ,edited by Elisabeth Leopold with the collaboration of Sonja NIederacher and Michael Vladika )- Language: English. Brand new Book. The monograph on Egon Schiele edited by Rudolf Leopold in 1972 forms the basis for Egon Schiele's world fame. This important document of art-historical literature has long been out of print, but it is now available once more in a revised edition with an updated catalogue raisonne. At the same time this magnificent volume provides an insight into the artist's life through letters, sketches and documents. Rudolf Leopold recognised back in the 1950s Schiele's outstanding significance for art. He was largely responsible for ensuring that the artist received the place he deserved in art history and public awareness. The monograph presented Schiele's paintings, watercolours and drawings chronologically in large-format colour plates. It is complemented by a profound examination of his motifs, studies, sketches and documents and provides a comprehensive overview. The current edition pays tribute to Leopold's achievement and the revised catalogue raisonne reflects the current state of research.
