Spring (1912)

We are proud to present "Spring" (1912), a striking piece by the renowned Expressionist artist Alexej von Jawlensky. This vibrant painting captures the essence of the season through a portrait that is both intense and emotive. The subject—composed with bold, exaggerated features and vivid colors—draws you into a world of profound expression and raw emotion.In this painting, the use of bright yellow in the background suggests the warmth and renewal associated with spring. The figure is portrayed with a rich palette of pink, red, and blue, colors that evoke a sense of blooming life and vitality. The eyes, a deep hue, seem to hold a melancholic depth, contrasting with the otherwise uplifting colors of the season. This complexity suggests that "Spring" is not only a celebration of the season but also an exploration of the human condition during times of change and rejuvenation.Jawlensky's characteristic style of thick, expressive brushstrokes adds a dynamic texture to the painting, inviting viewers to not just see, but feel the emotional landscape of the artwork. As with many of Jawlensky's works, this painting is a profound statement on the power of color and form to convey inner feelings and the beauty of the external world."Spring" is a testament to Jawlensky's mastery in capturing the spiritual and physical rejuvenation that the season brings, making it a compelling piece for both admirers of Expressionism and lovers of art that speaks to the soul.
