• Protege of Gustav Klimt.
• Did a shitload of self-portraits.
• Wasn't actually as ugly as depicted.
• Associated with art nouveau movement (the hey?)
• Founded the 'New Art Group' with other students after leaving the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Sounds like something a group of MCA kids would do.
• Employed his towns teens for artist's models.
• Served in WWI, but because of his skill as an artist was given duties far away from combat.
• Both he and his wife, Edith, died of the Spanish flu in 1918. He was 28.
