( ´gôn sh ´l ) (KEY) , 1890–1918, Austrian expressionist painter and draftsman. Influenced by the French impressionists, then by Gustav Klimt, Schiele developed a taut, linear style, emphasizing anatomical structure in drawings and paintings that often have strong sexual subject matter. With Kokoschka, he was in the forefront of the Austrian expressionist movement until his sudden death at 28 of influenza. A portrait by him is in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
