Biography:
After studying at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, Egon Schiele met Gustav Klimt and joined the Vienna Sezcession movement in 1908. Schiele developed his style along with his interest in the psychology of Sigmund Freud, resulting in harsh Expressionist paintings often of nudes. Schiele’s work creating controversy among the Austrian officials, who confiscated and destroyed his work and then arrested him in 1912. His work took a calmer approach in 1915 that continued until his death from influenza in 1918.
