The Pornographer of Vienna

The Pornographer of Vienna is the superb debut novel of Lewis Crofts, about one of the great painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century painters. Egon Schiele was a passionate and lawless child; he loved painting and he loved his sister Gertrude – in his eyes, nothing else really mattered.At sixteen, driven to the edge by his father’™s syphilitic rages and the reproaches of his disappointed mother, Egon left his childhood home behind. Brimming with confidence and ambition he made his way to Vienna, determined to establish himself as an artist in Europe’™s most decadent city.Befriended by Gustav Klimt and inspired by his lover, Valerie, Egon discovered in himself an uncompromising and seductive talent. It was a gift that would both shock and beguile Viennese society; a gift that would lead the painter to the brink of madness, disgrace and an early demise aged only twenty eight.
