Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) and his younger protégé Egon Schiele
(1890-1918) are considered two of the greatest figures of Austrian
Modernism. Whether competing with or inspiring one another,
together they reconfigured the way the human body was translated
into art. Although both artists are primarily remembered as
painters, between them they left 7,000 drawings, many of the
greatest of which are now in the collection of the Albertina
Museum, Vienna. In 2018 an exhibition opens in London of both
artists' drawings from the Albertina. This stunning publication
records these precious works, which are very rarely displayed and
almost never travel, in all their erotic, intriguing and sometimes
disturbing beauty. Leading experts on the period provide
authoritative texts that illuminate the important relationship
between the two artists. They analyse the role of drawing in their
practice and chart the response of early twentieth-century Vienna
to their electrifying work, which still has the power to shock and
enthral to this day. 'Klimt / Schiele: Drawings from the Albertina
Museum, Vienna', organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, London,
and the Albertina Museum, Vienna.
