The Ghost Castle (after Oscar Wilde) (Das Gespensterschloß (nach Oskar Wilde)) 1911

"The Ghost Castle (after Oscar Wilde)" is a 1911 work by German Expressionist artist Moriz Jung. Composed of four distinct panels, the piece features a distinct illustrative style with bold colors and simplified forms. It's a satirical commentary, likely referencing Oscar Wilde's 1887 play "The Importance of Being Earnest". The work is a striking example of Jung's talent for combining humor and social commentary in his artwork. The piece, now residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the expressive energy and iconographic approach of German Expressionism.
