More about this artwork
"Meditation N. 26" by Alexej von Jawlensky, created in 1935, invites viewers into a contemplative visual journey through abstract forms. This piece, like many other works in Jawlensky's Meditation series, simplifies facial features into two stark, ghostly white forms that resemble eyes, floating above a dark, richly textured background. These eerie, almond-shaped eyes draw the viewer in, serving as a focal point amidst a cacophony of thick, vertical brushstrokes.The painting's palette is subdued yet impactful, featuring deep blues, reds, and earth tones that create a feeling of depth and emotion. The use of color and form in this piece is typical of Jawlensky's later work, where there is a profound exploration of spirituality and inner experience. The dark outlines and frames suggest confinement or introspection, possibly alluding to the inner windows of the soul or the boundaries of human perception.Overall, "Meditation N. 26" is emblematic of Jawlensky's expressionist style, where emotions and expressions are rendered through powerful colors and simplified forms.
