More about this artwork
Explore the vivid abstraction of Alexej von Jawlensky's painting titled "Variation" from 1916. Capturing the essence of expressive modernism, this painting is a symphony of vibrant colors and brisk brushwork that conveys movement and emotions in an abstract form."Variation" is striking in its use of color and composition. Jawlensky employs bold, contrasting hues such as deep blues, vibrant reds, purples, and greens to form a series of shapes that could be interpreted as distorted botanical elements or fragmented landscapes. Each color is distinctly separated yet contributes to a cohesive overall image that is open to interpretation.The composition does not depict a realistic vista but rather evokes a feeling or mood through color interplay. The painting is indicative of Jawlensky's turn towards abstraction, where familiar forms dissolve into color planes and the contours of representation are reimagined as emotional expressions.This piece is an excellent example of Jawlensky’s evolution as an artist and his commitment to exploring the spiritual and visual potential of color. It invites viewers to delve into their perceptions and emotions, making it a magnificent gem in modernistic art studies.
