Born June 12, 1890 in Austria. Died October 31, 1918 in Austria. Egon Schiele was an expressionist painter and protégé of Gustav Klimt. He is a major expressionist in the early twentieth century, notable for his raw and sexualized context that included a series of self-portraits and close attention to the representational value of hands. His work can be found in many galleries, namely the Neue Galerie in New York City.
Eckleburg was founded in 2010 as an online and print literary and arts journal. We take our title from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and include the full archives of our predecessor Moon Milk Review. Our aesthetic is eclectic, literary mainstream to experimental. We appreciate fusion forms including magical realist, surrealist, meta- realist and realist works with an offbeat spin. We value character-focused storytelling and language and welcome both edge and mainstream with punch aesthetics. We like humor that explores the gritty realities of world and human experiences. Our issues include original content from both emerging and established writers, poets, artists and comedians such as authors, Roxane Gay, Rick Moody, Cris Mazza, Steve Almond, Stephen Dixon, poets, Moira Egan and David Wagoner and actor/comedian, Zach Galifianakis.
