Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 19 works by Egon Schiele (1890–1918) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Schiele was a pupil of Klimt who developed a far rawer and more anguished style, producing intense angular figure studies that shocked audiences with their emotional exposure. He worked almost entirely in Vienna and died at 28 in the 1918 influenza epidemic, just as he was receiving wider recognition.
