Story

A tall, simplified face emerges from soft, muted color, built from sweeping curves rendered in black, red, blue, yellow, and purple. The forms fold inward, suggesting features without describing them in detail. This piece was painted in oil on cardboard in 1933 by Alexei Jawlensky (1864–1941), a German artist associated with Expressionism.
