Egon Schiele, the widely celebrated Austrian Expressionist, had one of the shortest-ever careers in art.

But Schiele never cottoned to city life.

“Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes” is a stirring, deeply engrossing show that acquaints us with a long-hidden part of the artist’s career.

At a time when the Austro-Hungarian empire was in its final years, Schiele turned to landscape as if to reconstitute a disintegrating world.

Born in June 1890 in countrified Tulln, Austria, Schiele was raised in humble circumstances and had a difficult childhood.
