Whether expressing political or societal critiques or existential ideas, the art of Egon Schiele (1890, Tulln, Austria–1918, Vienna) often has symbolic, or allegorical, meaning. He was interested in such art for two reasons: He saw himself as contributing to this European figurative tradition, following his mentor Gustav Klimt (1862–1918), who also used symbolism and allegory in his own paintings. In addition, an artist could demonstrate his or her intellectual and technical prowess through these types of paintings
