Klimt, Schiele, Moser, Kokoschka

‘The introductory essays give the reader a commanding view of Vienese art at the beginning of the 20th century, and every catalogue note enhances and embellishes them; the translation (unacknowledged) is felicitous, wholly at ease with the subject. The range of illustrations is enlightening, their quality commendable. Throw away your popular books on Vienna; replace them with this.’ Brian Sewell, The Evening Standard ‘This is a marvellous book, of the kind that Lund Humphries - one of those publishers who specialise in catalogue tie-ins - does so well.’ State of Art, Nov 2005 ‘This book is particularly well-illustrated and also contains a selection of key texts from the period, short biographies of the artists involved and a bibliography.’ Arlis News-Sheet, March/April 06 ‘…Excellent color illustrations…Highly recommended.’ Choice ‘One of the virtues of this book … is its deliberate emphasis on the embedded geometric plans that appear in the work of these Austrian artists … Another way this book stands out is that it looks very carefully at the paintings of Koloman Moser’.
