More about this artwork
"Landschaft am Genfersee" (circa 1914), painted by the esteemed Russian expressionist Alexej von Jawlensky, captures the vibrant, untamed beauty of the landscape surrounding Lake Geneva. In this notable piece, von Jawlensky employs a bold, emotive color palette to depict the organic and dynamic interaction between earth and water.The painting is characterized by its lush, vigorous brushwork, a hallmark of von Jawlensky's transition into expressionism. The foreground is dominated by rich greens and blues, showcasing the natural verdancy and depth of the lakeside foliage. These natural tones are contrasted strikingly with patches of vivid, warmer hues—yellows, reds, and purples—that seem to erupt with the intensity of life inherent to the scene.In "Landschaft am Genfersee," von Jawlensky abstracts the natural landscape into a composition that pulsates with energy and rhythm. The lake itself is rendered in a swath of deep blue and green, its surface a mirror to the sky's lighter, serene expanse, subtly visible at the painting's upper reach.
