More about this artwork

Alexej von Jawlensky's painting titled "Head" (ca. 1912-1913) showcases the artist's bold and expressive use of color and form. In this work, Jawlensky presents a side-profile portrait of a woman, using vibrant strokes and contrasting hues to articulate the features of her face. The subject’s cheek and neck are highlighted with shades of red and orange, while deep blues and greens create a muted yet dynamic background, suggesting both depth and motion.This painting is a remarkable example of Jawlensky’s fascination with the human face as a landscape of emotional expression, a common theme in his work. The abstract styling and intense colors convey a deeper psychological resonance, indicative of the artist's movement away from representational accuracy towards a more spiritual and expressionistic approach to art. The strokes seem intuitive and spontaneous, which further emphasizes the emotive aspect of the painting.
