    by Gerd Presler ...
    What was it that fascinated the three painters?

  • Edvard Munch - The Scream – End of an error

    by Gerd Presler ...
    Errors that determined what was said and written about the great Norwegian over the years and decades. They started with a wrong title for the world-famous work. It is not called “The Scream” at all! And they ended with the ignorance and dismissal of one version of the painting of the Screaming through Nature – perhaps the most important one. It is to be found on its back – and was simply passed ... Read more

  • The Sketchbook

    by Gerd Presler ...
    Sketchbooks are an outstanding feature in more than a few exhibitions: they have a downright prominent place in showcases, above them monitors where all sheets can be seen on touch screens – a visual pleasure and an exciting event. Unfortunately, however, many people continue to be rather baffled by sketchbooks. What goes on there? Most are convinced that the purpose of a sketchbook is to prepare ... Read more

  • In the Beginning - Childhood drawings by eminent artists

    by Gerd Presler ...
    This study takes up the lost thread and continues it – to the present. I asked artists who are crucial in shaping today’s art world with their works for drawings from their childhood and adolescence in order to get to the roots, the origin, and the conditions of their work; in other words, to those conditions under which a talent starts out, evolves, and builds its initial foundations. What ... Read more

  • Egon Schiele

    by Forty, Sandra ...
    Series series Minibooks
    Egon Schiele is considered by many to be the greatest draftsman of the 20th century. The undeniable fact, however. that a considerable share of his work is of an explicitly erotic nature has blinded many people to his remarkable ability, so much so that he is primarily known as an Austrian Expressionist artist of the erotic. Schieles full artistic flowering lasted only a little over 10 years. He ... Read more

  • Klimt

    by Patrick Bade ...
    “I am not interested in myself as a subject for painting, but in others, particularly women…”Beautiful, sensuous and above all erotic, Gustav Klimt’s paintings speak of a world of opulence and leisure, which seems aeons away from the harsh, post-modern environment we live in now. The subjects he treats – allegories, portraits, landscapes and erotic figures – contain virtually no reference to ... Read more

  • Schiele

    Egon Schiele’s work is so distinctive that it resists categorisation. Admitted to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts at just sixteen, he was an extraordinarily precocious artist, whose consummate skill in the manipulation of line, above all, lent a taut expressivity to all his work. Profoundly convinced of his own significance as an artist, Schiele achieved more in his abruptly curtailed youth than ... Read more
