More about this artwork
1913)"Frauenkopf mit Blumen im Haar," translated as "Woman’s Head with Flowers in Her Hair," is a captivating example of Alexej von Jawlensky’s expressionist vision, painted around 1913. This portrait bursts with vibrant colors and bold, emotive lines that typify Jawlensky's approach during this period. The painting features the face of a woman, rendered with jagged, angular lines and an arresting palette of bold hues that suggest an intensity of emotion and psychological depth.Jawlensky utilizes stark contrasts and a rich array of colors to create the woman's visage. Her eyes, gazing directly at the viewer, are highlighted with shades of blue and amber, drawing immediate attention. The incorporation of flowers in her hair adds a naturalistic element that contrasts with the otherwise abstract depiction, softening and adding complexity to the composition.The background of luminous yellow further illuminates her face, making the portrait all the more striking. One sees here the artist's signature use of color to go beyond mere representation, seeking instead to convey deeper layers of meaning and emotion.This painting is an exquisite testament to Jawlensky’s exploration of the human spirit through color and form.
