The Beginning

For the commemorative year 2014, the Egon Schiele Museum in Tulln has launched an exhibition that juxtaposes Egon Schiele’s early work with the mature art he created during World War I. The show, thus, shines a light on key themes in the life and work of this exceptional artist. For once, all the women that shaped his life are center stage: Schiele’s mother and sisters; Margarete Partonek, the first great love of the sixteen-year-old artist; and, finally, his relationships of many years with his lover “Wally” Neuzil and his wife Edith Harms.

Open 5 April to 26 October 2014
