Self-Portrait with Raised Bared Shoulder 1912

Egon Schiele's "Self-Portrait with Raised Bared Shoulder" (1912) is a striking example of the artist's signature style. The distorted features and elongated limbs, characteristic of his Expressionist approach, are rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes. The stark white background emphasizes the contorted figure, creating a sense of isolation and vulnerability. The exaggerated features and intense gaze convey a raw emotionality, highlighting Schiele's preoccupation with self-exploration and the complexities of the human condition.
