家の壁(窓) by Egon Schiele, 1914

Egon Schiele transforms a mundane building facade into a dizzying, flattened puzzle of windows and shingled roofs in this striking 1914 piece, likely inspired by the town of Krumau. Instead of using traditional perspective, he tilts the architecture, making the rows of windows look like they're sliding off the page in a slightly unsettling way. Painted just as World War I was breaking out, the jagged, nervous lines and muted earth tones—punctuated by sudden flashes of red and blue—perfectly capture the anxious, fractured energy of the Expressionist movement.
