Autumn Trees 1911

"Autumn Trees" is a 1911 painting by Egon Schiele that depicts three trees with sparse, orange leaves against a background of layered horizontal lines. The painting's elongated, angular lines and vivid colors are characteristic of Schiele's style, known as Expressionism. The artwork's starkness and melancholic tone likely reflect Schiele's own anxieties and struggles during this period, creating a sense of isolation and introspection. The painting's focus on nature suggests a desire to find solace and connection in the natural world. "Autumn Trees" is a poignant testament to Schiele's distinctive artistic vision and his exploration of human emotion.
