SCHIELE, Egon: Portrait of Johann Harms

🖼 Portrait of Johann Harms, 1916
New York, USA

Intense, angular lines carve a gaunt face emerging from shadowed background, rendered in Schiele's expressionist technique with raw psychological penetration. This 1916 portrait exemplifies Austrian Expressionism's radical distortion of form to convey inner turbulence and existential anxiety during WWI.
