In 1911 Schiele dreamed of leaving the constrictions of the staid Viennese art society, and he set his sights on the village of Český Krumlov in southern Bohemia. Krumau was where his mother was born and today has a museum celebrating Schiele. Even with family connections in Krumau, he and his lover were chased out of the village by locals who were appalled at their lifestyle which included his acquisition of the villages's teenage girls as nude models.
