More about this artwork
"Meditation" by Alexej von Jawlensky, painted in 1935, exemplifies the artist's intense exploration of spiritual expression through abstract forms. In this painting, Jawlensky utilizes stark, bold colors juxtaposed against dark outlines to reflect themes of introspection and spiritual contemplation.The arrangement in "Meditation" is particularly remarkable for its simplification of forms into vertical and horizontal color blocks. Deep blacks and shades of red, orange, yellow, and blue dominate the canvas, conveying a feeling of both conflict and harmony. The composition is anchored by robust, dark outlines that intensify the vibrancy of the colors used, which seems to pulsate with a life of their own.This painting is an exploration of the balance between color and form to evoke emotional and spiritual responses from the viewer. Each color in this work possibly denotes different facets of human emotions, relating to the broader theme of meditation as an act of delving into one's inner psyche."Meditation" invites viewers to pause and reflect, not only on the artwork itself but on their own internal states.
