About the artwork:

"House with Laundry (Suburb II)" by Egon Schiele, painted in 1914, is a notable example of the artist's early expressionist work. This painting falls within Schiele's mature period, where he focused on urban and suburban scenes, characterized by his distinctive style that blends vivid color with stark, angular forms.

The painting depicts a suburban house with laundry hanging out to dry, set against a backdrop of a stark, somewhat oppressive sky. Schiele’s use of bold lines and contrasting colors emphasizes the everyday subject matter, transforming it into a powerful statement about the mundane aspects of life. The house and laundry are rendered with a sense of raw immediacy, reflecting Schiele’s interest in capturing the reality of ordinary life with an emotional and psychological depth. This work illustrates Schiele's unique approach to expressionism, focusing on the emotional resonance of ordinary scenes.

  • Title Houses with Colourful Laundry (Suburb II) (Häuser mit bunter Wäsche, Vorstadt II)
  • Artist Egon Schiele (Austrian Expressionist; Tulln 1890 - Vienna 1918)
  • Year of creation 1914 (signed Egon Schiele and dated 1914 lower centre; Kallir catalogue raisonné no. 283, listed by Jane Kallir as Häuser mit Wäsche (Vorstadt II). Painted at a hinge moment in Schiele's career and life: just before the outbreak of the First World War in late July 1914, in the year he began experimenting with new etching techniques and photographic self-portraits, and shortly before meeting the sisters Edith and Adele Harms across the street from his Hietzing studio. The composition is based on motifs drawn from Krumau (today Český Krumlov) in Southern Bohemia, his mother's birthplace, to which Schiele had moved with Wally Neuzil in 1911. It combines the river in the foreground and fields in the background with the colourful houses and drying laundry stretching along the middle, uniting natural and man-made elements; the shimmering, highly decorative effect of geometric, brightly-coloured houses and laundry lines represents a legacy of Schiele's mentor Gustav Klimt)
