A good many of those figures are self-portraits. Schiele returned to himself as a subject again and again over a period of many years, recording himself in various poses and styles. When he used his own body as a model, his interest often lay not in his actual self, but more generally in the position of the individual in the changing modern world. Posing in a variety of roles, Schiele uses his face like a mask. This beautifully produced book offers a comprehensive account of this crucial, yet underappreciated, aspect of Schiele's art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElisabeth Leopold\u003c\/b\u003e is cofounder of the Leopold Museum Vienna, curator of numerous exhibitions, and the author of many articles on art and culture in Vienna around 1900.\u003cb\u003e Stefan Kutzenberger\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, literary scholar, and curator who lives in Vienna.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50727433142546,"sku":"9783777441832","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6ccdd7ed-0ad3-44ab-a3e0-1232b3404d1c.jpg?v=1734907839","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-faces-of-egon-schiele-self-portraits-9783777441832","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
