" Poetics of the Gesture " marked the first time these three vanguard artists of The Twentieth Century have ever been considered in a single exhibition. Presented as a constellation of pivotal moments in the history of art, the exhibition and this rare volume are ambitious, academic, and historically innovative commitments of Nahmad Contemporary.

This special book examines the similarities of three of the most influential artists of their respective generations - Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, American Postwar artists CY Twombly, and American Neo-Expressionist Jean Michel Basquiat. It shows how each artist's masterful, dynamic use of line was a central component of his artistic practice.

Many of the works have rarely been exhibited publicly - drawing out a dialogue between the art works and those of their predecessors. Whereby, each artist and his respective works illuminate each other. Schiele, Twombly, and Basquiat shared a radically intense artistic expression. In this convergence, a shared exploration of transcendence, the human condition and the logic of drawing and painting emerges.
