More about this artwork
"Large Variation" (1915) by Alexej von Jawlensky is a rich tapestry of colors and forms, showcasing the artist's unique approach to expressionism. This painting invites viewers into a vivid landscape shaped through non-traditional perspectives and an intense, emotional engagement with color.The painting is characterized by organic forms and a bold palette, including shades of pink, green, blue, and red. These colors are not mixed but are laid down side by side in confidence, a hint to Jawlensky’s exploration of the emotional and spiritual expressions that colors evoke. The central area could suggest a group of colorful, abstracted flowers or leaves, nestled against large pink and green strokes that may evoke natural elements like trees or hills. A sense of depth is suggested through overlapping hues and contrasts.What stands striking about this painting is its ability to convey feeling through such abstraction; there's an inherent vibrancy to the way these elemental forms seem to dance across the canvas, reflecting Jawlensky's inner contemplations and turmoil during that time. A superb example of early 20th-century Russian expressionism, this painting reflects a transition from representational art to a more personal, introspective style that emphasizes subjective emotional experiences."Large Variation" is not just a visual treat but a journey into the essence of color and form, marking an important chapter in Jawlensky’s artistic journey, where he communicates not just sights, but sentiments.
