Krumau Town Crescent I 1915

Egon Schiele's *Krumau Town Crescent I* is a striking example of his Expressionist style. Painted in 1915, the work depicts a bird's-eye view of the Austrian town of Krumau, with buildings rendered in angular, fragmented forms and bold colors. Schiele's signature elongated figures are absent, but his unique perspective and emotional intensity are evident in the composition and the use of color. The distorted buildings, with their sharp edges and deep shadows, convey a sense of unease and confinement, reflecting the anxieties of the time. This piece is a prime example of Schiele's interest in capturing the psychological and emotional experiences of modern life. *Krumau Town Crescent I* is a powerful depiction of urban life and the anxieties of early 20th-century Europe.
