 An intimate look at the erotic studies and paintings of a controversial artist whose works continues to provoke even today.
Schiele’s fiercely drawn lines and confrontational compositions command our attention. His erotic art, most of all, evokes feelings of discomfort, titillation, curiosity, and even repulsion, and yet bears testimony to his talent and passion. This beautifully crafted collection of erotic masterpieces showcases the themes Schiele wove into all of his work: a fascination with the human psyche and sexuality, a desire to destroy the conservative facade of moral righteousness and expose the inner truth. Designed to resemble an artist’s sketchbook, this book offers viewers a chance to gain a better understanding of the technique and vision of this revolutionary painter.

"Hindering the artist is a crime," wrote Egon Schiele in 1912. At the time he was in prison for disseminating immoral drawings. Throughout his work the note of defiance, provocation, and rebellion was sounded. Schiele's favorite subjects were female nudes and self-portraits, and he worked at his art with furious commitment, though it was not until shortly before his early death that he began to win real recognition. Today, with Oskar Kokoschka, he is seen as the most important of the Austrian artists who came after Klimt. This study examines the life and work of Egon Schiele through all the major oil paintings and many of his erotic drawings.
- Velvet Heat: Erotic Poetry for the Carnal Mind...
Sex is poetry. It can be a song, a verse, like music, melodious and
rhythmic. Poetry is passion—direct or lettered with illusion. When
given as a gift, poetry is romantic, beautiful, even chivalrous. It can
serve as a definition of thought, a gesture, a move. It can even be
foreplay.

- The Book of the Courtesans: A Catalogue of Their Virtues...
Hard on the heels of the film Moulin Rouge comes this idiosyncratic
meditation on that 18th- and 19th-century curiosity, the courtesan, the
woman who, though usually from limited means, parlayed her beauty,
sexuality and talent into a position of luxury and celebrity as the
mistress of one or several men of means. Readers looking for a sober
social history of the world portrayed in the film will not find it
here, for Griffin's approach is almost as kaleidoscopic as the movie's.
In a series of brief chapters, each devoted to a particular "virtue,"
that is, a talent central to the courtesan's success (such as "Gaiety,"
"Charm," "Cheek"), feminist critic, playwright and poet Griffin (What
Her Body Thought; Women and Nature; etc.) mines the memoirs of her
subjects for stories illustrating their ability to vault beyond the
constraints of their age and gender.

Germans are not really famous for their great passions or pleasures.
Abroad, people like to watch them falling under the tables at carnival
or at the October Fest, drunk and merry. Tacitus seems to have known
this side. He tells tales of the ancestors of the Germans, in classical
Rome. He found them a hard and wild tribe that loved to roam the
wilderness, stark naked. Indestructible even then but not really
prepared to enjoy lust and pleasure.

Well-known sex therapist Westheimer here presents a provocative, richly eclectic, inspirational collection of erotic art. Chapters proceed methodically from flirtation and seduction to foreplay, the embrace, solitary and group pleasures and conclude with blissful exhaustion--a loose framework for organizing more than 100 color reproductions of works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Titian, Watteau, Durer, Manet, Courbet, Egon Schiele, David Hockney and others.
- Egon Schiele: Drawings and Watercolors...
Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele produced a prolific body of work before his early death at the age of twenty-eight in 1918. The oeuvre is comprised of a few hundred oil paintings and thousands of drawings and watercolors.
Schiele's oils have often been reproduced and are well recognized. However, limited access to the fragile works on paper and dispersion among several collections have made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman.
- Egon Schiele: Eros And Passion...
Egon Schiele’s controversial nudes and self-portraits were fiercely reviled when they first appeared in the early decades of the twentieth century and, nearly one hundred years later, they still have the power to shock. Examining why Schiele’s work elicits this response, the author explores the social constrictions of Schiele’s generation and the role of the artist as a breaker of taboos. Incorporating superb reproductions of Schiele’s works, those of his contemporaries, and historical photographs, the author offers a penetrating study of an artist whose idea of beauty transcended the morality of his time.
