Houses on the Town Square in Klosterneuberg 1908

Egon Schiele made "Houses on the Town Square in Klosterneuberg" with oil on wood, and the brushwork is so immediate, you can almost see him standing right here! There's a real love of process on display, the paint isn't blended, but layered, like he's building up the scene, piece by piece. Look at how he captures the light on the buildings, that intense orange, playing against the lavender sky. It's not just representation; it's feeling. I love how the brushstrokes are visible, carrying the energy of his hand, and that heavy impasto makes the painting almost three-dimensional. See that dark doorway, those marks are scrubbed on, straight from the tube! Schiele's work is related to Munch, but he has a raw, almost desperate energy all his own. It’s a reminder that art is alive, always changing, and never really finished.
