Author: Jawlensky, Alexej
Russian German painter Alexej Jawlensky found his own artistic voice late in life. He was part of the revitalisation of painting in the early 20th century, developing his Expressionist style through exchanges with the Fauves in Paris and his peers in Germany, including friends in and around Der Blaue Reiter. Featuring a clothbound spine, this small, slender and appealing volume features essays on Jawlensky’s unique artistic projects, as well as an encyclopedia of his life and work.Until arthritis ended his ability to paint, Jawlensky explored colour, religious iconography and portraiture in his masterful serial paintings. His last series of works, 'Meditations', comprises more than 1,000 paintings: modest in format, yet sensational. These paintings, which he described as “prayers in colour,” became an artistic redemption for Jawlensky, who throughout his life sought to connect his spiritual reflections with his painting.
