Product Description
Book Description
The Pornographer of Vienna tells the life story of Egon
Schiele, the infamous Austrian painter famed for his sexually explicit
portraits of the underbelly of Viennese life in the dying years of the
Habsburg empire. Crofts recounts how Schiele is persecuted by his family,
imprisoned by the Habsburg authorities and forced into poverty by an
unappreciative art world. Schiele finally finds acclaim with those who had
earlier shunned him, before dying tragically a few days short of the end of
the Great War. This novel inspired by Schiele's twisted and perverse life
charts the ascent and demise of Austria's most decadent and most
misunderstood painter.
About the Author
Lewis C. Crofts was born in 1977, and grew up in Somerset. He
studied Modern and Medieval Languages at Oxford, before
leaving England to live and work successively in Germany, France, Czech
Republic, and Belgium. His fascination with Egon Schiele was sparked while
living in Prague, helped by his love of German and Bohemian languages and
cultures. He is working on a second novel.
