As an artist, he had a special preference for rustic genre and historical paintings; under the influence of Ferdinand Hodler , Egger-Lienz abstracted his formal language into monumental expressiveness. He trained first under his father (a church painter), later he studied at the Academy in Munich where he was influenced by Franz Defregger and French painter Jean-François Millet . In 1899 he moved to Vienna . During 1911 and 1912 he was professor at the Weimar School Of Fine Arts and he served as war painter during World War I . In 1918, he turned down a professorship at the Vienna Academy and settled in South Tyrol. GALLERY |
