Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936, the American playwright Eugene O’Neill was the first to introduce into the U.S. the drama techniques of realism, associated with Chekhov, Ibsen and Strindberg. His masterpiece, ‘Long Day’s Journey into Night’, is regarded as one of the greatest works of American drama. O’Neill saw the theatre as a valid forum for the presentation of serious ideas.

The last great artist of the Baroque era, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo was a master of the Rococo style. He decorated numerous palaces across Europe with frescoes full of turbulent movement and vibrant colour.

In spite of his death to Spanish Flu at the age of 28, Schiele would become one of the leading figures of Austrian Expressionism and a spokesman for a generation of ambitious artists in the years to come. His extraordinary artworks are characterised by their intensity, raw sexuality and controversial tone. Unlike his great mentor Gustav Klimt, Schiele emphasised expression over decoration, heightening the emotive power of line with agitated tension. The centre of his artistic interest was the contemplation of his own existence, as demonstrated by his countless self portraits. These searing, psychologically complex images explore the human figure at its most expressive. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.
