Albin Egger-Lienz

1868-1926 Austria/Impressionism-Symbolism

 

Brief Biography-Albin Egger-Lienz was born near Lienz, Austria, whence his name originates. His father, Georg, was a church painter who introduced him to painting, and in 1884, Albin studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Art until 1893. Jean-François Millet and Franz von Defregger influenced him. After that, he worked in Munich and Vienna and joined the Secession group of artists in 1909, where the Swiss symbolist painter Ferdinand Hodler influenced him. Albin served as a war artist for a short time in 1915 but left due to ill health. He sold works in Italy, and the Vienna Academy of Art invited him to teach for the second time running, but he refused the offer once again. His last years were in Bolzano, Northern Italy; he died there in 1926.
