House Wall on the River 1915

"House Wall on the River" (1915) by Egon Schiele is an example of the artist’s signature style, known for its elongated figures and expressionist use of line. The painting depicts a series of buildings along a river, rendered with a simplified and angular aesthetic. Schiele’s distinct approach to portraying the human form can be seen in the way he represents the buildings, emphasizing their skeletal framework and geometric shapes. This work reflects his exploration of the relationship between architecture and human experience, reflecting themes of isolation and alienation.
