More about this artwork
"Stilleben mit Tasse" (Still Life with Cup) by Alexej von Jawlensky, painted around 1908, is a vibrant and bold exploration of color and form. This painting isolates everyday objects, a cup and fruit, transforming them into a stunning composition of vivid colors and dynamic brushstrokes.The artwork features a prominently placed white cup on the left side of the canvas, its pale hue starkly contrasting against the surrounding deep, intense colors. The background and tabletop are rendered in patches of red, pink, green, blue, and black, which bleed into each other, creating a lively and somewhat abstract appearance. The fruits, possibly apples and an orange, captivate with their varied and bright colors, suggesting ripeness and freshness.Jawlensky's work is notable for its emphasis on emotional and spiritual expressions conveyed through color. "Stilleben mit Tasse" showcases his departure from realism towards more abstract representations, where the physical objects are less important than the feelings they evoke.
