The son of a railway worker and born in Tulln, Schiele was an outstanding painter of Austrian Expressionism, the contemporary of Kokoschka, both influenced by Klimt. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Vienna and in 1909 he formed a circle of artists, the Group of New Art. Schiele's work was centred on landscapes and the human body, which he painted in a feverished totured fashion, influenced by the psychoanalytical theories of Freud, whose erotic treatment provoked a great scandal in his time. In 1915 he was called up, although he continued painting his nude men and women and his landscapes and fantastic cities. He died very young during the flu epidemic of 1918.
