Abstract Head
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abstract Head (circa 1928) by Alexej von Jawlensky, Russian expressionist.
At about the end of the World War I, Alexej von Jawlensky started to draw 'mystic heads' or 'faces of saints'. He gave them poetic titles like Moonlight or Inner Look. Like Claude Monet, he ended up concentrating on a single theme. Its appearance remained more or less constantly the same, yet varied in the use of the brush, the colourings and, first of all, in the mimic art in order to bring up new aspects until yet unknown of a transcendent spirituality.
