SCHIELE, Egon: Self-Portrait with Raised Bare Shoulder

🖼 Self-Portrait with Raised Bare Shoulder, 1912
Oil on wood
42 × 34 cm
Vienna, Austria

Bare shoulder thrust forward in angular distortion, the figure confronts the viewer with raw psychological intensity. Schiele's expressionist self-portrait captures early 20th-century Austrian modernism's anguished introspection and formal radicalism.
