SCHIELE, Egon: Dead City

🖼 Dead City, 1911
Prague, Czech Republic

Jagged rooftops and twisted architecture lurch across the canvas in acidic yellows and sickly greens, rendered with angular expressionist brushwork. Schiele captures Vienna's spiritual decay during fin-de-siècle anxiety, transforming urban landscape into psychological torment through distorted form.
