Jawlensky and the search for the absolute face
Alexej von Jawlensky (1864-1941) was one of the leading figures of European Expressionism. After studying at the Academy of St. Petersburg, he moved to Munich in 1896, where he came into contact with Vasilij Kandinsky and Marianne von Werefkin and helped establish the Der Blaue Reiter group. His painting evolved from landscapes with dense, vibrant colors toward a progressive abstraction of the human face, as shown in Abstract Head, Symphony in Pink, and Variation, culminating in the series of Mystical Heads and Faces of the Savior, inspired by Russian Orthodox religious iconography. Arthritis forced him to stop painting in 1937. Bringing one of these prints into your home means preserving that pursuit, not merely filling an empty space.
