SCHIELE, Egon: Portrait of Arthur Roessler

🖼 Portrait of Arthur Roessler, 1914
Washington, United States

Angular lines and sallow flesh tones render this seated figure with psychological intensity, his gaze piercing and withdrawn. Schiele's portrait captures the critic Arthur Roessler during Austrian Expressionism's height, exemplifying the movement's unflinching psychological penetration and formal distortion.
