Untitled 1918

Egon Schiele's "Untitled" from 1918 is a striking example of his signature style, characterized by elongated figures and angular lines. Created in the year of his death, the drawing reflects the artist's intense introspection and anxieties. The contorted figure, likely a self-portrait, appears trapped within a web of expressive lines, highlighting the psychological turmoil and existential concerns that marked Schiele's final years. The minimalist composition and raw, gestural brushstrokes underscore the raw emotionality of the piece, cementing Schiele's place as a leading figure in Expressionism.
