Egon Schiele (World of Art)
Thames and Hudson | 1981 | ISBN: 0500201838 | English | 220 pages | PDF | 33.3 MB
Egon Schiele lived in Vienna during the last years of the declining Habsburg Empire. Rejected by his family, hounded by society for his interest in young girls, he expressed through his art a deep and bewildering loneliness and an obsession with sexuality, death and decay. He was only twenty-eight when he died, yet he left behind him a body of work that sustains a huge public reputation–and a myth. This book sets out to examine both.

Kenneth Archer and Millicent Hodson explain the processes they use when reconstructing "lost" ballets, and Theresa Buckland and Georgina Gore write on traditional dance in England and West Africa respectively. With other contributions on social dance, ballet, early European modern dance and feminist perspectives on dance history this book offers a multitude of starting points for studying dance history as well as presenting examples of dance writing at its very best.
