Presenting a radically different picture of Egon Schiele's work,
this study documents (in one-to-one comparisons) the extent of the
artist's visual borrowings from the Viennese humoristic journal,
Die Muskete. Claude Cernuschi analyzes each comparison on a
case-by-case basis, primarily because the interpretation of
cartoons and caricatures is highly contingent on their specific
historical and cultural context. Although this connection has gone
unnoticed in the literature, in retrospect, this correlation makes
perfect sense. Not only was Schiele's artistic production
frequently compared to caricature (and derided for being
"grotesque"), but Expressionism and caricature are natural allies.
One may belong to "high" art and the other to "popular" culture,
yet both presuppose similar assumptions and deploy a similar
rhetorical position: namely, that the exaggeration of human
physiognomy allows deeper psychological "truths" to emerge. The
book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual
culture, popular culture, and politics.
