Egon Schiele (Austrian, 1890-1918)

A major figure of Austrian Expressionism, Egon Schiele’s prolific figurative works paved the way for Modernism. A student at the Vienna Academy of Fine Art, Schiele left school in 1909 to form Neukenstgruppe, the New Art Group. It was during this time he met Gustav Klimt who helped him participate in the 1909 Vienna Kunstschau. This international exhibition garnered the artist great support from dealers and collectors; during this time his works became more expressive, and his self-portraits and portraits tinged with psychological and sexual motifs. The Spanish flu took Schiele’s life at the age of 28, but not before he exhibited at the 1918 Vienna Secesssion, which displayed over 50 works and brought him international acclaim. Today the largest collections of his work can be seen at the Egon Schiele-Musuem in Tulln, the Leopold Museum in Vienna, and the Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna.
