In these pieces, he processed his own emotional states and expressed the inner turmoil of an entire generation through his depictions of the human figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis later works after 1914 differ markedly from his earlier ones and are less well known. His lines became more measured, flowing, and organic, while his figures filled out and were more realistic. Upon reflection, the personal and historical changes and events from 1914—such as the outbreak of war, his marriage to Edith Harms (1893-1918), and the tedium of army life—clearly had a profound effect on his artistic output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume gathers together an array of scholarly voices on these later works and includes previously unseen documents, including the personal diary of Edith Harms from this period, in which she recorded her experiences, thoughts, and feelings during these unprecedented times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424083984620,"sku":"9783753308166","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783753308166.jpg?v=1774769213","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/egon-schiele-last-years-1914-1918-9783753308166","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
