Gustav Klimt and his younger protege Egon Schiele are considered two of the greatest figures of Austrian Modernism. Whether competing with or inspiring one another, together they reconfigured the way the human body was translated into art. Although both artists are primarily remembered as painters, between them they left 7,000 drawings, many of the greatest of which are now in the collection of the Albertina Museum, Vienna. This stunning publication records these precious works, which are very rarely displayed and almost never travel.
