Egon Schiele #[nn]

Part of Glénat's Les Grands Peintres series, this 2016 volume by Dimitri Joannidès and Nicolas Sure brings the turbulent world of Egon Schiele to the comics page. The cover sets a striking tone: a young, sharp-featured man with a pencil tucked behind his ear gazes out at the viewer, while behind him two entwined figures in deep crimson and shadow evoke the raw emotional intensity Schiele's work is known for. It's a beautifully composed invitation into the life and art of one of early twentieth-century expressionism's most compelling figures.
