Framed Unique Egon Schiele Wall Art

Egon Schiele’s father died from syphilis when he was fifteen years old. He therefore became a ward of Leopold Czihaczec, his maternal uncle, who became disgusted by his lack of interest in academic studies. However, his uncle recognized his talent and passion for art. Schiele applied at the School of Arts and Crafts in 1906. The school was in Vienna. Within his first year at the school, at the insistence of several faculty members, Schiele was sent to the more traditional Academy of visual art in Vienna in 1906. At the academy, he studied drawing and painting, but was frustrated by the conservatism of the school. It can be seen from records that Adolf Hitler was rejected by the Academy in 1907; so many staffs were of the opinion that Adolf Hitler and Schiele knew each other in Vienna. In 1907, the artist looked for Klimt Gustav who was known for mentoring younger artists. Gustav took a particular interest in the young Schiele because he was gifted. He bought his drawings, offering to exchange them for some of his own. He even arranged models for Schiele and introduced him to potential patrons. That’s not all; he went ahead and introduced Schiele to the Wiener Werkstätte. This was an arts and crafts workshop that had a connection with the Secession. Schiele had his first exhibition in 1908. After completing his third year, he left the Academy in 1909. Together with other dissatisfied students, they founded the “New Art Group” through which they produced many stunning pieces of art work mainly as framed Egon Schiele art.
