Rejected by
the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he decided to study architecture,
though never losing sight of his ambition to be a painter. He first showed paintings at a joint exhibition. The established architect Adolf Loos introduced him into the artistic Viennese circle to which Egon Schiele, Carl Moll and Oskar Kokoschka also belonged. |
