Egon Schiele (June 12, 1890 – October 31, 1918)

A few random notes about the great Expressionist Egon Schiele: he died at 28, he sought out and was mentored by Gustav Klimt and he had an affair with one of Klimt's models, Valerie "Wally" Neuzil. That's just a taste of his short, full life. Some people live exciting, rapid lives, don't they?
