130319: not the best images but excellent 3 essays. rather than chronological, this catalog, essays, follow themes/ideas/reception of mostly his nude drawings. good arguments. recast the body in fine expressive line in modernism, after modelling of classicism. difference art and porn. enlightens me why i am attracted not merely to his skinny nude women in art but also in life: rather than voluptuous, sculptural, beauty, schiele finds that dionysian beauty of ugliness, of thin, gestured, bony bodies. and vibrant sexual postures, girls, women, self. to me this is philosophical beauty of nietzsche rather than of the body... and i love philosophy...
