SCHIELE, Egon: Dead City III

🖼 Dead City III, 1911
Vienna, Austria

Jagged rooftops and skeletal buildings lurch across the canvas in acidic greens and sickly yellows, rendered with angular, convulsive brushstrokes. Schiele's dystopian vision captures early modernist anxiety about urban decay and spiritual emptiness in pre-war Vienna.
