Biography Leninimports In 1907, he met Gustav Klimt,
who encouraged him and influenced his work. Schiele left the Akademie in 1909 and founded the Neukunstgruppe
with other dissatisfied students.
Upon Klimt's invitation, Schiele exhibited at the 1909 Vienna Kunstschau, where he encountered the work
of Edvard Munch, Jan Toroop, Vincent van Gogh and others. See:
Portrait of Johann Harms.
The chair also recalls the furniture in Vincent van Gogh’s paintings of his own bedroom; its handcrafted
style reminds us of the importance of the decorative arts in Vienna at this time.
