More about this artwork
Alexej von Jawlensky's painting "Infantin, Spanierin" (Spanish Infanta) captivates with its vibrant expression and bold color palette. Painted in 1913, this remarkable work showcases Jawlensky's signature style which blends elements of Expressionism with a deeply personal interpretation of his subjects.The artwork features the portrait of a young woman, possibly of noble Spanish descent given the title "Infanta," which refers to the daughters of Spanish monarchs. Her facial features are rendered with stark, contrasting colors that emphasize the expressive quality of the gaze and the contours of her face. Hues of blue, red, and green swirl around her, suggesting the fluidity and dynamic nature of her persona.Jawlensky employs thick, emotive brush strokes that give the painting a textured feel, almost as if the viewer can sense the artist’s movements as he applied the paint. The liberal use of color not only highlights the emotional aspect of the painting but also creates a striking visual impact, making the Spanish Infanta appear both regal and enigmatic.This painting is a beautiful example of how art can transcend traditional portraiture, offering instead a vivid, introspective look into the subject's identity and emotions.
