More about this artwork
"The Village Of Murnau" by Alexej von Jawlensky, painted in 1908, offers us a vivid portrait of the bucolic and serene setting of a Bavarian village nestled in a rich landscape. This painting exemplifies Jawlensky's move towards Expressionism, where the interplay of bold and vibrant colors takes precedence over detailed representation.The composition breaks the landscape into a series of colorful blocks, creating a patchwork that stretches up into the dramatic navy-blue mountain in the background, setting a striking contrast against the sweeping green meadow in the foreground. The houses, depicted in shades of red, white, and orange, are simplified yet distinctly layered, conveying depth and texture, while trees speckle the terrain adding bursts of dark green, creating rhythm and balance within the painting.
