Krumau 1911

Egon Schiele's 1911 painting "Krumau" is a striking example of his signature style, which blended Expressionism with a distinctive angularity and psychological intensity. The work depicts the town of Český Krumlov, in the Czech Republic, with its rooftops and facades rendered in bold, fragmented strokes. Schiele’s use of dark, earthy colors and stark contrasts creates a sense of unease and introspection, reflecting his fascination with the inner world of his subjects. "Krumau" showcases Schiele's masterful ability to convey both the physical and emotional landscape of his surroundings.
