More about this artwork

"Meditation on a Gold Background" by Alexej von Jawlensky presents a captivating exploration of color and abstract form, embodying a profound sense of contemplation. Painted in 1936, this striking piece uses a simple yet vibrant palette to convey deep emotional resonance. The painting features robust, vertical strokes that create two main columns of color, one in luminous blue and the other in vivid red, separated and framed by bold black lines. These primary elements are set against a golden-yellow background that enriches the composition, giving it a radiant glow that seems to emanate from within.Jawlensky's use of texture and contrasting colors in this work suggests a window-like structure, offering viewers a glimpse into the internal, meditative state referenced in the title. The juxtaposition of warm and cool tones not only provides a visual balance but also evokes a spiritual dichotomy, possibly representing the dual aspects of human nature or the interplay of material and ethereal realms.
