Blind Mother 1914

Egon Schiele's "Blind Mother" from 1914 depicts a mother cradling her child, emphasizing the woman's emaciated form and elongated limbs, a characteristic of Schiele's style. The figure is surrounded by dark, almost oppressive tones, creating a sense of unease and isolation, which exemplifies the artist's focus on introspection and psychological themes. The painting's stark simplicity and emotional intensity exemplify Expressionism, a movement that emphasized subjective expression over objective representation.
