More about this artwork
"Frosty Day," a captivating work by Alexej von Jawlensky, harnesses the power of vivid and bold color to convey the stark chill and beauty of a winter day. Created in 1915, this painting is indicative of Jawlensky's expressive style, in which emotion and sensation take precedence over realistic depiction.This piece features swatches of deep reds, icy blues, purples, and greens that shape the canvas into a dynamic landscape. These abstract elements might be interpreted as the sun setting through a frosty haze or the reflective variations on snow-covered ground and dense foliage. Each brushstroke contributes to an overall sense of movement, suggesting the biting wind of a chilly winter day.Jawlensky's approach in "Frosty Day" is less about the literal interpretation and more about the feelings evoked by colors and forms.
