Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele developed a novel approach of blending figuration and abstraction in his landscapes. Curatorial fellow Peter Murphy will highlight two of Schiele’s works, looking at them through the lens of gender and World War I: the 1910 watercolor Sleeping Figure with Blanket and the 1917 painting Town Among Greenery (The Old City III), which is on loan from the Neue Galerie New York.
Led by:
Peter Murphy, Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow in the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
