SCHIELE, Egon: House with shingle roof

🖼 House with shingle roof, 1915
Vienna, Austria

Jagged angles and weathered wood dominate this austere dwelling, rendered in muted earth tones with urgent, fractured brushstrokes. Schiele's expressionist vision transforms ordinary architecture into psychological unease, reflecting early 20th-century Austrian anxiety and modernist rejection of romantic landscape tradition.
