City View
1906
Before Egon Schiele became famous for his twisted, edgy portraits, he was just a teenager exploring the world through color. Created in 1906 when he was only sixteen, this vibrant town view bursts with the textured energy of early Expressionism. You can almost feel the scratchy, pastel-like strokes as they build up the purple and orange rooftops, leading your eye straight to that lonely factory chimney puffing smoke against a hazy, striped sky. It’s a surprisingly peaceful glimpse into the Austrian landscape, completely hiding the turbulent genius that would soon explode onto the art scene.
