With his signature graphic style; embrace of figural distortion; and bold defiance of conventional norms of beauty; Egon Schiele was one of the leading figures of Austrian Expressionism. He was an Austrian painter; a proteacute;geacute; of Gustav Klimt and important figurative painter of the early 20th century. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize his paintings and drawings mark the artist as one an earliest exponent of Expressionism. In Schielersquo;s early years; he was strongly influenced by Klimt and Kokoschka but soon evolved into his own characteristic style. He focused on portraits of others as well as himself. In his later years; while he still worked often with nudes; they were done in a more realist fashion. Schiele made many drawings; some of which were extremely erotic. During his short but highly prolific career which ended with his premature death; Schiele created more than three thousand works on paper and approximately 300 paintings.

Not for professional useBy PatriziopaisanoGreat book; for a middle school theatre class. These moves could not be farther away from SAFD standards and will only result in very boring fights. The author is writing more about her opinions of common practice in the stage combat world; while supplying very basic; generic information. Advice; go take a class; you cant learn ballet or improv acting out of a book; the difference with combat; is its not safe to learn out of a book.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Awesome book!!!By Djsabre84If you are wanting to learn some basic stage combat; this is the book to get! This book helped my students a lot in know different weapons; positions; attacks; and the list goes on! I have been in stage combat for over 6 years and the author really makes the book reader friendly. She goes into such detail and step by step moves. Unfortunately today we have people who think they know how to fight for stage and film; but they are sadly mistaken. I have seen theatre directors injure people because they "think" they know stage combat. Do yourself a favor and get this book!!! Its great for all levels of actors; choreographers and directors!
