SCHIELE, Egon: Houses with Laundry (Suburb II)

🖼 Houses with Laundry (Suburb II), 1914
Vienna, Austria

Jagged angular forms and sickly yellows depict cramped suburban houses with fluttering laundry, rendered in Schiele's distorted Expressionist style. The work captures early 20th-century urban alienation and anxiety, transforming ordinary domestic scenes into psychological landscapes of psychological unease.
