Sunflower 1908

Egon Schiele’s *Sunflower*, painted in 1908, is a striking example of the artist’s signature style. Known for his expressive lines and elongated figures, Schiele applied these same principles to his depiction of the sunflower. The painting features a single sunflower stalk, with its leaves and blossoms rendered in bold, angular strokes. The vibrant colors of the yellow flowers contrast sharply with the dark greens and browns of the leaves, creating a sense of both energy and stillness. Schiele's use of thick, impasto paint adds to the tactile quality of the work.
