Egon Schiele: «Casas junto al rió»/»Houses on the River» (Español/Engish)

Ya os he ofrecido un vídeo acerca de la obra de Egon Schiele, (ver el vídeo) uno de mis favoritos de los expresionistas alemanes, aunque era austriaco. Hoy quiero presentaros esta obra que he visto en el Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza de Madrid que muestra una forma diferente que uso Schiele para expresar su creatividad y su filosofía en el arte.

I have already offered you all a video on Egon Schiele, one of my favourites of the German Expressionists, although he was Austrian. But today I want to bring you one of his works that I saw at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza de Madrid that will show you a different type of work, a different way in which he expressed his creativity and his philosophy in art.
