Georg Trakl (1887-1914) was one of the most important Austrian Expressionists. He was born in Salzburg and studied pharmacy in Vienna. He had an extremely close relationship with his sister, Grete, a musical prodigy. Although he frequently suffered bouts of depression, he served as a medical officer in the Austro-Hungarian Army on the Eastern Front at the beginning of World War I. He died of a cocaine overdose at a military hospital in Kraków.
