Egon Schiele was born June 12, 1890, in Tulln, Austria. After attending school in Krems and Klosterneuburg, he enrolled in the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste. He studied painting and drawing but was frustrated by the school's conservatism. In 1907, he met Gustav Klimt, who encouraged him and influenced his work. A must-have book for art lovers and particularly fans of Egon Schiele.
