Answer

Military service significantly impacted Egon Schiele's art during World War I. Conscripted into the army in 1915, Schiele's experiences on the front lines and his subsequent imprisonment profoundly affected his artistic style and subject matter. The trauma and hardships he endured during this period are reflected in his increasingly dark and introspective works, which often depicted skeletal figures and scenes of despair.
