Читать книгу Egon Schiele - Esther Selsdon - Страница 12

By 1909, thus relatively early, schiele had made the acquaintance of decisive personalities of the viennese art scene, whose portraits he painted and who were to remain loyal to him for his entire life and beyond. Schiele befriended arthur roessler, writer and art critic, who became one of his most decisive friends and promoters. Other figures who influenced his career were eduard kosmack, the publisher of the magazines the architect and the interior; carl reininghausen (1857–1929), one of the most important viennese collectors; and the railroad official and schiele collector heinrich benesch (1862–1947), who later dedicated a book to schiele.
