New and Noteworthy

By Elisabeth Dutz This revelatory volume uncovers the significant friendship that shaped Egon Schiele’s most personal and provocative works. Between 1910 and his death in 1918, Egon Schiele cultivated a close, formative relationship with Dr. Erwin von Graff—a Vienna-based gynecologist who would become both friend and collaborator. Egon Schiele: Portrait of Dr. Erwin von Graff is the first publication to examine this vital connection in depth, revealing how Graff’s medical practice and personal support influenced one of the most expressive and psychologically charged bodies of work in modern art.Through Graff’s private diary and newly uncovered archival material, art historian Elisabeth Dutz traces a compelling narrative of creative exchange and trust. Graff granted Schiele access to his patients—pregnant women, newborns, and postpartum mothers—opening a world that Schiele captured with raw, emotional intensity. Their friendship, which began with a painted portrait offered in gratitude for a favor, evolved into a lasting exchange that deeply influenced Schiele’s exploration of the human body, emotional vulnerability, and the complexities of life and death.Published in connection with a special exhibition at the Neue Galerie New York, this beautifully produced volume is richly illustrated with Schiele’s works from this period, as well as never-before-seen photographs and documents. It offers new insight into the artist’s inner world and illuminates a significant chapter in his development. A must-have for admirers of Schiele, this book deepens our understanding of his oeuvre and the relationships that helped shape it.

Egon Schiele: Portrait of Dr. Erwin Von Graff Exhibition Catalogue

By Sophie Lillie and Georg Gaugusch Few paintings have captured the public's imagination as thoroughly as Gustav Klimt's 1907 Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Klimt's painting of Adele not only rendered her irresistible beauty and sensuality; its intricate ornamentation and exotic motifs heralded the dawn of modernity and a culture intent on radically forging a new identity. But as synonymous as her likeness has become with Vienna’s Golden Age, the real Adele Bloch-Bauer remained somewhat shielded from the public eye. This book attempts to reveal and honor the remarkable life and legacy of Adele Bloch-Bauer and her husband Ferdinand, and their patronage of one of Austria’s most radical forebears of modernity.

Klimt: The Bigger Picture

40 cards with 20 enchanting posters and graphic prints from the Vienna SecessionIn the first decade of the twentieth century, Vienna’s leading modernists and their students developed a bold graphic style that heralded a new age. Debuting their prints and posters in a periodical they called Die Fläche (German for The Surface), graphic artists of the Secession such as Kolomon Moser and Alfred Roller directed design away from older art nouveau forms and toward bold experiments with flat colors, elementary shapes, and expressive lettering. This set of 40 postcards features 20 favorites from Die Fläche, including famed placards for Vienna Secession art exhibitions, works by members of the Wiener Werkstätte arts and crafts collective, and prints from the 1908 Kunstschau, a landmark exhibition organized by Gustav Klimt. Humorous and ethereal designs mix with exquisitely abstract depictions of Vienna as a fashionable modern metropolis. Pioneering women artists such as Hilde Exner, Emma Schlangenhausen, and Valerie Petter-Zeis stand out among the list of contributors, reflecting their important roles in shaping visual culture in the city. As in Die Fläche, artwork by Koloman Moser, Alfred Roller, and other founders of the Secession appear side-by-side with pieces by unsung luminaries such as Max Benirschke and Anton Kling. With faithful reproductions printed on matte cardstock and presented in a handsome box adorned with metallic ink, Secession Style offers a unique collection of mailable artwork from a celebrated modern art movement, making it an attractive gift for lovers of art and design.

Secession Style: Graphic Art from Vienna 1900

Vienna in 1900 saw a creative shift in art and design, led by a dynamic movement that sought to split from the past in order to create new traditions for the future. The Secessionist Movement (founded in 1897) and the Wiener Werkstätte (1903) consisted of young innovative artists, such as Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and Dagobert Peche. Inspiration for this new form of design came from many sources. Nature was a particularly common theme, as was the abstraction of geometry. Japanese art was known to the secessionists through its display at the 1873 Vienna World Fair and was a major influence on their work. As such, modern design in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century encompassed the organic as well as the geometrical, the warm swirl of nature and the cool straight lines of the abstract. Both became integral in the development of modern design in the 20th century, and both have left their dynamic mark on the history of the decorative arts.

A story that takes the reader from Vienna to New York, via Italy, from 1910 to the 1980s.”—Le Parisien “Through this great adventure novel, Camille de Peretti masterfully traverses eras and cities and constructs a story full of fury and emotion.”—Femme Actuelle A saga inspired by the incredible but true story of the iconic Klimt painting Painted in Vienna in 1910, Gustav Klimt’s “Portrait of a Lady” was purchased by an anonymous collector in 1916, retouched by the master a year later, then stolen in 1997 before reappearing in the gardens of an Italian modern art museum in 2019. No art experts, museum curators, or police investigators know the identity of the young woman in the painting, nor the mysteries that surround the turbulent history of her portrait. From the streets of Vienna in 1900 to Texas in the 1980s, and from Manhattan during the Great Depression to contemporary Italy, de Peretti imagines the destiny of this young woman as well as that of her descendants, and creates a masterful fresco that intertwines family secrets, disappearances, and thwarted loves.

Portrait of an Unknown Woman

By Theodor FontaneTranslated by Peter James Bowman PERFECT FOR FANS OF JANE AUSTEN: A seamstress and cavalry officer fall in love across class divides in this “sparkling, tender, delicately ironic” portrait of 19th-century Berlin (New York Review of Books). “A joy for its humanity, subtlety and visual immediacy.”—Independent From Germany’s greatest 19th-century novelist, this realist masterpiece interrogates the strict social codes of a rapidly changing era through a wistful struggle between love and obligation. Lene is an orphaned seamstress; Botho is a nobleman and an officer in one of the Prussian army’s most glittering regiments. But despite their differences of class and education, they fall quickly in love, spending a summer together in a clear-eyed, tender love affair before society’s demands force them cruelly apart. Now married to a wealthy cousin, Botho learns years later that Lene too has an opportunity to marry. Her ex-lover must choose between holding on to regret or letting go of the past – along with the possibility of getting Lene herself back. Unusually progressive for literature of the period, this masterwork of Fontane’s portrays a love story that defies class boundaries, full of tender irony and vivid evocations of a quickly expanding Berlin and its bucolic surroundings. Fontane bring sharp psychological insight to his achingly sympathetic portrayal of two lovers torn between their hearts and the obligations of social circumstance.

On Tangled Paths

By Rainer Maria RilkeTranslated from the German by Edward Snow “The most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators.” —Michael Dirda, Washington Post A gorgeous new translation of one of the strongest inaugural works in twentieth century poetry. Long hailed as a masterwork of modern German literature, The Book of Hours (1905) marks the origin of Rainer Maria Rilke’s distinctive voice and vision—where clarity of diction meets unexpected imagery and first-person poetry discovers its full lyric possibility. In these audacious poems, a devout but candid speaker addresses an ultimately unknowable deity, passing through love, fear, guilt, anger, bewilderment, loneliness, tenderness, and exaltation in his search for meaning. In this dual-language edition, Edward Snow, “the most trustworthy and exhilarating of Rilke’s contemporary translators” (Michael Dirda, Washington Post), makes Rilke’s achievement accessible as never before in English. Snow retains a striking fidelity to the German text while also conveying the captivating psychological presence that animates Rilke’s best poems. Paperback368 pagesText in German and EnglishW.W.

The Book of Hours

By Bernadette Wörndl The coffee houses in early 20th-century Vienna were the second living room for artists, intellectuals, and dessert lovers of all kinds.

The result is this unique baking book, with over 75 divine confectionery recipes. From Viennese classics like Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescent cookies) and Sachertorte (rich chocolate cake) to nostalgic delicacies like marmalade Swiss rolls or a strawberry cream torte, this book will delight lovers of Austrian sweets and pastries. With a mix of atmospheric recipe pictures, excerpts from Therese’s original recipe book, and nostalgic historic photography, The Viennese Bakery is a delicious, inspiring, and enticing culinary flight of fancy.

Wine Simple: Perfect Pairings: An Ingenious Guide to Enjoying Wine with Food

By Edmund de Waal Edmund de Waal has created a book about archives that is itself archival, a gathering together of his reflections on archives from over a decade in chronological order. The book is also cyclical, it starts in Odessa in 2009 and ends in Paris in 2021 encountering his family archives in both places. In-between there are his responses to the archives of poets and artists and places he loves. An Archive offers the opportunity to read texts by de Waal originally included in previous publications that are no longer available to the reader. The effort to put together all this material is not only an archival work but also an essay on the topic that offers different approaches to the definition and the experimentation of an archive by the viewer or its creator. Like much of de Waal’s work, this book is concerned with collecting and collections—how objects are kept together, lost, stolen or dispersed. This book is part of the Ivory Press Archives series, which aims to make unpublished, long-lost or sold out material available to the general public.

An Archive

By Sally CarsonPreface by Laura Freeman Crooked Cross describes, through the eyes of one ordinary family, the Nazis’ growth in power between December 1932 and August 1933. It is extraordinarily prescient, anticipating all the horrors they were about to inflict on the world, and in this respect it joins a small group of novels, PB no. 39 Manja and PB no. 136 The Oppermanns among them, which were written to try to alert the world to what was happening. The main focus of the novel is on disaffected German youth: it shows with great subtlety that by the early 1930s there was huge unemployment, and a corresponding feeling of futility, and that what the Nazis did so skillfully was to provide a sense of purpose. Crooked Cross is an incisive account on why some young men who feel disaffected, lost or ignored turn towards authoritarian governments.

Crooked Cross

By Elisabeth de WaalPreface by Edmund de Waal Unpublished during Elisabeth de Waal's lifetime, The Exiles Return is set in Occupied Vienna in 1954-5. It describes five people who grew up there before the war and have come back to see if they can re-establish the life they have lost. As Edmund de Waal writes in his Preface about his grandmother's highly autobiographical novel, she "was Viennese and this is a novel about being Viennese. As such, it is a novel about exile and about return, about the push and pull of love, anger and despair about a place which is part of your identity." With immaculate precision and sensitivity, de Waal, an exile herself, captures a city rebuilding and relearning its identity, and the people who have to do the same. Mesmerizing and tragic, de Waal has written a masterpiece of European literature, an artifact revealing a moment in our history, clear as a snapshot, but timeless as well.

Milton Place

By Anna Gmeyner Translated by Kate Phillips Preface by Eva Ibbotson Written in 1936-7 by a young Austrian playwright living in exile in London, Manja opens, radically, with five conception scenes all set on the same night in 1920. In the midst of the turbulent Germany of the Weimar Republic, it goes on, equally dramatically, to describe the lives of the children and their families up until 1933 when the Nazis came to power. The four boys and one girl, Manja, become friends, but their companionship is doomed because of the differences between their parents; one father is a left-wing activist, another a Nazi, another a financier, another a Jewish musician. Yet Manja is far from being a political novel. Its startling originality lies in the way the the political background is perceived, steadily, from the child's point of view. It has been compared with PB no. 152 Crooked Cross by Sally Carson, who was born the same year as Anna Gmeyner. 'What is so unusual,' wrote the playwright Berthold Viertel in 1938, 'is the way the novel contrasts the children's community - in all its idealism, romanticism, decency and enchantment - with the madhouse community of the adults.' Meanwhile the Manchester Guardian called it 'a remarkable novel, a book of truth and tenderness' and the New York Times referred to it as 'a tale of terrible beauty'. The Preface is by the author's daughter, writer Eva Ibbotson; the new translation is by Kate Phillips.Hardcover552 pagesPersephone Books, 2003Originally published in 1939‎5.35 x 7.64 inchesISBN 9781903155295Literary Fiction

Manja

von Arthur Schnitzlermit acht Zeichnungen von Egon Schiele einem Essay von Hilde Spiel Als 1926 die wohl vieldeutigste von Arthur Schnitzlers Erzählungen zum erstenmal erschien, durchlief die Wiener Gesellschaft ein Schauder. Die Gnadenlosigkeit, mit der Schnitzler darin den Seelengrund eines gesitteten Ehepaares bloßlegt, schockierte die Gemüter mehr noch, als dies sein Reigen getan hatte. Und doch ist es nicht der Blick in den Abgrund der Triebwelt, ist es nicht die Schilderung vorgestellter oder vielleicht gar gelebter Orgien, was an dieser Novelle bis heute so schockiert und fasziniert. Es sind auch nicht die Träume, die Albertine und ihr Mann Fridolin sich wechselseitig beichten. Es ist die Erkenntnis, daß kein Traum nur »völlig Traum« ist. Nicht allein Schnitzlers Ehepaar dürfte davon »erwacht« sein. Die Traumnovelle diente Stanley Kubrick zu seinem letzten Film: dem Welterfolg »Eyes Wide Shut« (1999) – als literarische Vorlage.

Buch beleuchtet – einem lesenswerten[:] Rilke als Gärtner.«-Dieter Kaltwasser, General Anzeiger Bonn Die erste Einführung in Rilkes Pflanzen- und Blumenkosmos mit vielen bisher unbekannten Texten und Bildern Es ist »die Liebe […,] die Blumen zwischen die Seiten« der Bücher legt, schrieb Rilke Ende November 1904 seiner Ersatzmutter, der berühmten schwedischen Pädagogin Ellen Key, und betonte weiter, dass diese »immer an dieser Stelle bleiben sollen«. Zeitlebens verzierte er seine Bücher mit solchen Zeichen der Liebe, bedichtete Blumen, die ihm als Lebens- und Liebeszeichen galten, entwickelte, pflegte und nutzte seinen eigenen Garten in Schloss Muzot, seinem letzten Lebens- und Arbeitsort. Rilkes Auseinandersetzung mit der Pflanzenwelt zeigt ihn als Gärtner im doppelten Sinne: Als botanisierenden Autor und als tatsächlichen Gärtner – als Pflanzensammler, Blumeneinkäufer, botanisch informierten Naturbeobachter und, nach Verfertigung seines großen Spätwerks, als tätigen Gärtner.

Rilke als Gartner

Von Rainer Maria Rilke Herausgegeben von Angelika Overath und Manfred Koch. Mit farbigen Abbildungen Wie in einem Paradiesgarten durchstreifen Tiere Rilkes Werk. Da tritt das fabelhafte Einhorn hervor, Delphine springen, Flamingos neigen ihr Haupt, Löwen brüllen, Schwäne gleiten. Hunde allerlei Art schmücken Landgüter oder verwildern in Städten. Der Dichter dreht gestürzte Marienkäfer auf der Fensterbank um, damit sie weiterleben können, und erfährt im Vogelflug seine Idee des »Weltinnenraums«. Auch wenn die Sphäre der Engel unzugänglich bleibt, geben Tiere doch Zeichen einer geheimen All-Verbundenheit der Wesen. Sie werden zu Lebenskomplizen, Echos der Seele. Die Anthologie versammelt Gedichte und Prosatexte aus Rilkes Werken, ergänzt durch ausgesuchte Tierbilder und abgerundet mit einem kundigen Nachwort der Herausgeber.

Rilkes Tiere

Von Rainer Maria Rilke Rainer Maria Rilkes Gärten sind »von Königen gebaut«. Sie sind still und hoheitsvoll, wirken wie »nie betreten«. Mit blumenbegrenzten weiten Rasenflächen, Alleen, gestalteten Bäumen, Kieswegen, Palästen und Pavillons, mit Bänken und Treppen aus Stein, Sonnenuhren und Fontänen und einer Überfülle an Blumen gleichen sie ausgebreiteten Prunkgewändern. Ihr eigentlicher Zauber aber liegt in ihrer beständigen Wandlung. Rilke preist das unauflösliche Miteinander von Dasein und Vergänglichkeit, jenes »Äußerste von Sein und Neigen«, mit zärtlichen, betörenden Worten. Die Auswahl Marianne Beucherts lädt zu einem Gang durch diese Gärten ein. Zwölf farbige Park- und Blumenaufnahmen von Marion Nickig ergänzen den Band.

Die schönsten Gedichte für Kinder

Von Gloria Köpnick und Rainer Stamm Der Blaue Reiter zählt bis heute zu den bedeutendsten Strömungen der europäischen Malerei im frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Geprägt wurde er von den Künstlerpaaren Gabriele Münter und Wassily Kandinsky sowie Marianne von Werefkin und Alexej Jawlensky. Das südlich von München im Alpenvorland gelegene Murnau gehörte ab 1908 für sie zu den wichtigsten Schaffensorten. Komposition und Bildaufbau, Farbwahl und Pinselduktus: Murnau brachte für die Maler einen entscheidenden Schritt in ihrer künstlerischen Entwicklung. 1909 reisten Münter und Kandinsky erneut nach Murnau und erwarben dort ein Haus, das sich, ebenso wie die umgebende Landschaft, in zahllosen Bildern wiederfindet. Hier lebten Kandinsky und Münter mit Unterbrechungen bis 1914. In den Jahren von 1910 bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg vollzog sich, maßgeblich von Kandinsky und Münter initiiert, die Gründung der Neuen Künstlervereinigung München und, ab 1912, die Formierung des Künstlerkreises um die Redaktion des Almanachs Der Blaue Reiter. Der Band zeichnet anhand ausgewählter Meisterwerke und prägnanter Motive den Aufbruch in das Abenteuer der Moderne in Murnau nach. Ein fundiertes Nachwort der Herausgeber rundet den Band ab.

Wege nach Innen: 25 Gedichte

Herausgegeben von Herbert Schnierle-Lutz »Und wo bleibt das Positive?« wurde Erich Kästner immer wieder gefragt, wenn er seine zeitkritischen Gedichte und Kolumnen veröffentlichte. »Ja, weiß der Teufel, wo das bleibt«, antwortete er.Es ist nicht einfach in dieser Welt, Literatur zu schreiben, die das Leben ohne Wenn und Aber bejaht; das viele, das menschlich und gesellschaftlich im argen liegt, beansprucht die Aufmerksamkeit der Schriftsteller, die das Leben möglichst wirklichkeitsnah und ungeschönt darstellen wollen. Und außerdem ist das Positive, wenn es ab und zu doch zum Zuge kommt, »kein guter Stoff für Dichter«, wie der Schriftsteller Robert Walser einmal feststellte. Dennoch brauchen wir zuweilen auch Nachrichten vom Glück, wollen von positiven Erfahrungen und Erlebnissen lesen. Und manchmal tun uns die Dichter, allen Bedenken zum Trotz, den Gefallen. Hymnen und Lobpreisungen, die uns Mut machen, erblicken dann das Licht der Welt. Gedichte von Franz von Assisi bis Ingeborg Bachmann, von Goethe, Eichendorff und Mörike bis Wolf Biermann und Sarah Kirsch finden sich in diesem Band versammelt.

Vorn die Ostsee, hinten die Friedrichstraße

By Rainer Maria RilkeTranslated by Geoffrey Lehmann “The New Poems are for me Rilke’s greatest poems, written under the shadow of ‘mon grand ami Auguste Rodin’ to whom their second volume was dedicated. They are ‘method’ poems. Not waiting for inspiration, but taking the handicraft of a poem, and setting himself subjects, the way a shoemaker might, or a sculptor. ‘Thing-poems,’ Dinggedichte, poems about things, but also poems that are ‘a thing.’ The two volumes are, in my view, two of the most beautifully made poetic sequences ever.” —Michael Hofmann ”In Rilke not only do the stones and trees become human—as they have done always and everywhere poems have been made—but humans become things and nameless beings and only then gain their ultimate humanity.” —Robert Musil Fresh, beautiful new translations of one of the most important poets of all time, publishing in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Rainer Maria Rilke’s birth. Rilke is one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century, revered throughout the world. Geoffrey Lehmann has selected fifty of Rilke’s finest poems from the two volumes of New Poems, considered the center of gravity of Rilke’s achievement. Lehmann’s refined ear and perfect mastery of English verse form give his renderings of Rilke a precision and poise equal to that of the German originals. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Rilke’s birth, a master poet lives anew. Paperback128 pagesNYRB Poets, 20254.5 x 7 inchesISBN 9781681379944Poetry

Fifty Poems

By Linda Nochlin The fiftieth anniversary edition of the essay that is now recognized as the first major work of feminist art theory—published together with author Linda Nochlin’s reflections three decades later. Many scholars have called Linda Nochlin’s seminal essay on women artists the first real attempt at a feminist history of art. In her revolutionary essay, Nochlin refused to answer the question of why there had been no “great women artists” on its own corrupted terms, and instead, she dismantled the very concept of greatness, unraveling the basic assumptions that created the male-centric genius in art. With unparalleled insight and wit, Nochlin questioned the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art history. And future freedom, as she saw it, requires women to leap into the unknown and risk demolishing the art world’s institutions in order to rebuild them anew. In this stand-alone anniversary edition, Nochlin’s essay is published alongside its reappraisal, “Thirty Years After.” Written in an era of thriving feminist theory, as well as queer theory, race, and postcolonial studies, “Thirty Years After” is a striking reflection on the emergence of a whole new canon. With reference to Joan Mitchell, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and many more, Nochlin diagnoses the state of women and art with unmatched precision and verve. “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” has become a slogan and rallying cry that resonates across culture and society. In the 2020s, Nochlin’s message could not be more urgent: as she put it in 2015, “There is still a long way to go.” Hardcover112 pagesThames & Hudson, 2021Originally published in 19714.7 x 7 x 2 inchesISBN 9780500023846Art Criticism, Theory

Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? 50th Anniversary Edition

Edited with text by Megan Fontanella. Foreword by Mariët Westermann. Text by Victoria Horrocks, Isabelle Jansen, Iris Müller-Westermann, Dorothy Price. A new look at a vanguard modernist artist who reimagined the still life, landscape and portrait genres This landmark publication coincides with the major Guggenheim New York exhibition of works by the remarkable German Expressionist Gabriele Münter. Münter’s painting practice between 1908 and 1920 is the central focus of the exhibition and accompanying book. The study also illuminates her lesser-known later work and includes significant examples of her photography taken during earlier extensive travels in the United States. Münter was notably a cofounder of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a loose and transnational confederation of progressive artists and other creatives, with whom she probed the expressive potential of color and the symbolic resonance of forms. Her introspective portraits during World War II capture the “new woman” and explore questions of gender identity. Highlighting more than 90 paintings, drawings and photographs, this publication not only traces Münter’s pioneering and understudied practice but also challenges accepted historical narratives that have tended to sideline women artists. Reproductions of archival material appear alongside choice selections of the artist's sketches, prints and reverse glass paintings. Thematic texts by renowned scholars explore identity, place, belonging and the embodied experience of modernist women artists during this period. Gabriele Münter (1877–1962) was at the forefront of the German avant-garde in the early 20th century and exhibited extensively at galleries and salons throughout Europe during her lifetime. Along with her artistic colleague and one-time partner, Vasily Kandinsky, Münter was a founder of the influential Expressionist group of artists, Der Blaue Reiter.

Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World

By Mason Klein A new perspective on renowned twentieth-century artist Paul Klee, revealing his enduring creativity in the face of darkness by foregrounding his lesser-known late work Celebrated for his colorful, fantastical paintings, Paul Klee (1879–1940), a pioneer of modernism and expressionism, is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Though he is remembered for the chromatic style of his most famous works, Klee’s late work reflects a dark and dramatic transformation, providing insight into the artist’s psychological landscape. Forced to flee Nazi persecution in 1933, Klee faced final years that were marked by exile, illness, and political upheaval. Paul Klee: Other Possible Worlds takes the unsettling last decade of Klee’s life as its subject, arguing that he accepted his vulnerability as a strength—one that enabled him to develop a personal rebuff of fascism through a lexicon of abstraction. With 120 illustrations highlighting works from throughout Klee’s career, this catalog traces the evolution of his artistic practice and frames his late work in the context of his oeuvre. Essays by leading scholars and curators reexamine Klee’s legacy and the importance of his late masterpieces as an artistic defiance against oppression.

Van Gogh: Masters of Art

Written and illustrated by Xavier Coste Unveils the Austro-Hungarian artist's relationship with colleagues and models and the passions that drove him further into his craft. ―Douglas Rednour, Library Journal Schiele's brief, controversial career is examined with bold insights in this graphic biography... Coste doesn't shy away from the emotional brutality of Schiele's story. In fact, he embraces it, weaving elements of Schiele's eerie, idiosyncratic paintings with his own artistic style. Drawing on the same Expressionist techniques that drove Schiele's artistic passions, Coste conjures a story that beckons the reader to see the world through its subject's eyes. ―Publishers Weekly The story of the artistic genius who provoked early 20th-century tolerance. Egon Schiele is an evocative depiction based on the life of the Austro-Hungarian artist whose short career spanned the turn of the 20th century. Schiele (1890-1918) was a painter known for full-frontal portraits of naked women (and on many occasions, himself). They were stark and disturbing. He painted his subjects in gaunt, twisting and unnatural poses. Their voyeuristic tone and blatant eroticism outraged society, landing him in prison for 24 days. Nevertheless, his works would have a strong influence on the development of expressionist art. The book focuses on the artist's creative years, the development of his talent, his relationships with other artists, including Gustav Klimt, the women in his life, and his obsession with making provocative art. Quickly following Schiele's early successes were his failures. In the end, it was the Spanish flu that killed him at the tragically young age of 28. Egon Schiele is a seductive and intimate portrait of an artistic genius who was both lauded and condemned for his brilliance. His works, at one time judged to be disgusting and perverse, are now considered masterpieces and are in museums all around the world.

Egon Schiele: His Life and Death

By Daniel KehlmannTranslated by Ross Benjamin “Nothing short of brilliant.” —The Wall Street Journal “A surpassingly gifted storyteller.” —The New York Times From “one of the brightest, most pleasure-giving writers at work today” (Jeffrey Eugenides, Pulitzer Prize–winning author), a visionary tale inspired by the life of film director G.W. Pabst, who fled to Hollywood to resist the Nazis only to be forced to return to his homeland and create propaganda films for the German Reich. An artist’s life, a pact with the devil, and the dangerous illusions of the silver screen. G.W. Pabst, one of cinema’s greatest directors of the 20th century, was filming in France when the Nazis seized power. To escape the horrors of the new and unrecognizable Germany, he fled to Hollywood. But now, under the blinding California sun, the world-famous director suddenly looks like a nobody. Not even Greta Garbo, the Hollywood actress whom he made famous, can help him. When he receives word that his elderly mother is ill, he finds himself back in his homeland of Austria, which is now called Ostmark. Pabst, his wife, and his young son are suddenly confronted with the barbaric nature of the regime. So, when Joseph Goebbels—the minister of propaganda in Berlin—sees the potential for using the European film icon for his directorial genius and makes big promises to Pabst and his family, Pabst must consider Goebbels’s thinly veiled order. While Pabst still believes that he will be able to resist these advances, that he will not submit to any dictatorship other than art, he has already taken the first steps into a hopeless entanglement. Kehlmann’s latest oeuvre explores the complicated relationships and distinctions between art and power, beauty and barbarism, cog and conspirator.

The Director

By Franz WerfelTranslated by Geoffrey Dunlop and James Reidel “In every sense a true and thrilling novel....It tells a story which it is almost one’s duty as an intelligent human being to read. And one’s duty here becomes one's pleasure also.” —New York Times Book Review “For Armenians, it remains unique and precious...it’s the one work whose urgency and passion keeps the truth of their genocide before the eyes of a world that would prefer to forget about it. For Jewish readers, Werfel’s epic about the choice between submitting to the killers or dying on the barricade is still poignant. In several ghettos where the Nazis held Jewish populations before murdering them, The Forty Days of Musa Dagh was passed from hand to hand and became the inspiration—almost the manual—for the sacrificial ghetto risings that followed. Werfel wins an argument with the world’s indifference—and wins it crushingly.” —London Review of Books The heroic story of resistance during the Armenian genocide. When the Turkish government ordered the deportation of Armenians, several villages in the mountains chose not to obey. Instead, they fortified a plateau on the slopes of Musa Dagh and repelled Turkish soldiers and military police during the summer of 1915 while holding out hope that the warships of the Allies would save them. An international bestseller when first published in 1933, and the first novel in modern times to capture genocide by a state, Franz Werfel's masterpiece brought the world's attention to this devastating crime against humanity and the Armenian people.

George Grosz: A Piece of My World in a World Without Peace Die Collagen

Original Price: $45.00 UP TO 20% ADDITIONAL SAVINGS FOR MEMBERS By Emma Jung Edited by Ann Conrad, Lammers Thomas, Fischer Medea Hoch Translated by Ann Conrad Lammers Alison Kappes A richly illustrated collection of never-before-seen writings and drawings from the notebooks, portfolios, and personal papers of C. G. Jung’s wife and collaborator Emma Jung (1882–1955) was the life and work partner of one of the great intellectual figures of the twentieth century, yet she kept most of her creative and personal life private. Dedicated to the Soul brings together previously unpublished materials from Jung’s private archive, introducing her voice into the literature of the early psychoanalytical movement and revealing a vibrant inner life and a glowing presence that until now was known only to her family and a handful of patients, students, and friends. This fully annotated collection features journal entries, dream accounts, drawings, paintings, and lectures. It sheds new light on Jung as an early collaborator in the creation of analytical psychology who may have originated the concept of the animus, one of C. G. Jung’s central constructs. It paints a riveting portrait of a dynamic woman who, determined to break free of the conventional world of her upbringing, fearlessly interrogated her social environment and developed her own systems of meaning. With introductory essays that chart Jung’s personal, intellectual, and psychological development, Dedicated to the Soul brings the creative work of this boldly imaginative and irreverent spirit to a wider audience and offers new perspectives on the role of women in the early history of analytical psychology.

Dedicated to the Soul: The Writings and Drawings of Emma Jung

By C. G. Jung and Aniela Jaffé In 1957, at the age of eighty-one, C. G. Jung began a collaboration with his student and secretary Aniela Jaffé and the legendary publisher Kurt Wolff on a book about his life. Memories, Dreams, Reflections would become a bestseller, yet it draws from less than half of Jaffé’s original interviews with Jung. Much of the material from these candid, wide-ranging conversations was left on the cutting-room floor. Jung’s Life and Work presents these interviews in their entirety for the first time. Marking the 150th anniversary of Jung’s birth, this new English translation captures the cadence and subtlety of the brilliant psychologist in his own words, giving voice to a thinker and teacher who is by turns witty and intellectually daring but also vulnerable and humbled by the world’s great mysteries. It restores numerous passages that were originally omitted or heavily edited and toned down for publication, “auntified” as Jung himself put it. Taken together, these talks reveal Jung actively discovering meaningful new connections in his life’s work. He shares his impressions of notable figures he encountered throughout his life—such as Sigmund Freud, William James, Albert Einstein, and H. G. Wells—and describes his striking visions, religious and paranormal experiences, and pioneering self-experimentation. Aided by Jaffé’s skillful questioning, Jung reflects on subjects ranging from Christianity and Buddhism and the fate of the West to the experiences that led to the formulation of his signature concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes, anima and animus, and the shadow as well as on karma, the afterlife, and much more. With an introduction and extensive annotations by acclaimed Jung scholar Sonu Shamdasani that provide invaluable historical perspective, Jung’s Life and Work includes previously unpublished extracts from Jung’s letters and a completely reorganized text.

Jung's Life and Work: Interviews for Memories, Dreams, Reflections

By Anthony Gottlieb The first biography in more than three decades of the Austrian-born thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century “An engrossing biography [that] focuses on what is most essential and interesting in the philosopher’s work and life. . . . It is rare to find a book that you can open at random and almost always find something that piques your interest.”—Julian Baggini, Wall Street Journal “Very clear and lively and interesting.”—Nigel Warburton, Five Books, “Best Philosophy Books of 2025” According to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), philosophy is a “battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.” This audacious idea changed the way many of its practitioners saw their subject. In the first biography of Wittgenstein in more than three decades, Anthony Gottlieb evaluates this revolutionary idea, explaining the evolution of Wittgenstein’s thought and his place in the history of philosophy. Wittgenstein was born into an immensely rich Viennese family but yearned to live a simple life, and he gave away his inheritance. After studying with Bertrand Russell in Cambridge, he wrote his famous Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while serving in World War I. He then took several positions as a primary-school teacher in rural Austria before returning as a fellow to Cambridge, where a cultlike following developed around him. Wittgenstein worked not only as a philosopher and schoolteacher, but also as an aeronautical engineer in Manchester and as an architect in Vienna. Gottlieb’s meticulously researched book traces the itinerant and troubled life of Wittgenstein, the development of his influential ideas, and the Viennese intellectual milieu and family background that shaped him.

Ludwig Wittgenstein: Philosophy in the Age of Airplanes

By Ludwig Wittgenstein Introduction by Jan Zwicky Translated by Alexander Booth One of the greatest philosophical works of all time, in a new translation for the twenty-first century Widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a succinct yet wide-ranging exploration of language and logic, science and mysticism, which has inspired generations of thinkers, artists and poets. In a series of short, bold statements, Wittgenstein seeks to define the limits of language, its relation to logic, its power and its inherent failings. Originally published in the early 1920s, it is the only book-length work the renowned philosopher published in his lifetime. In this thrilling new translation, Alexander Booth displays an extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle influence on Wittgenstein’s gem-like prose–at once specialist and, often, remarkably plain-spoken–considering his background in mechanical engineering, while highlighting the underlying poetry of this seminal text.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus: The New Translation

By Peter E. Gordon An accessible and authoritative biography of Walter Benjamin that guides the reader through the complexity of his intellectual legacy and the turbulence of his time Walter Benjamin (1892–1940) is widely considered one of the most creative cultural critics of the twentieth century. Esteemed for his literary acumen and capacious imagination, he developed a unique style of criticism—his friend Hannah Arendt called it pearl-diving—that sought out fragments of redemption in the ruins of bourgeois civilization. Award-winning author Peter E. Gordon tells Benjamin’s story in a vivid and poetic style, inviting the reader to look beyond the image of Benjamin as a tragic figure of German-Jewish history and portraying him as a complex personality of unique and multifaceted gifts. Tracing Benjamin’s life from his Berlin childhood to his Parisian exile, through the romanticism of the youth movements and the conflicts over modernism and Marxism, Gordon brings Benjamin to life.
