"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all." ~ Stanley Horowitz Four Trees by Egon Schiele, 1917: Egon Schiele was an Austrian Expressionist painter mentored by Gustav Klimt. Schiele's Four Trees is a painting that is both beautiful and haunting. With its picturesque natural landscape and bright colors, it seems like a perfect scene for many to enjoy. However, there are darker undertones that reveal how problematic nature can be for humans. Don't miss the Art League's fundraising concert featuring South Pasadena Transit Authority, a nine-piece Chicago tribute band. Sun., Nov. 2; $20 tickets on sale now in the Main Clubhouse.
