Dead City III 1911

Egon Schiele’s "Dead City III" (1911) depicts a cluster of buildings, rendered in his signature angular, expressive style. The painting’s palette is dominated by browns, greys, and blacks, creating a sense of melancholy and isolation. The buildings appear as a distorted and fragmented cityscape, reflecting Schiele’s fascination with psychological and emotional states. This painting, along with his other works, cemented his place as a significant figure in early 20th-century Austrian Expressionism.
