Story

A simplified, geometric face emerges in pale lavender and white, its features reduced to flat planes accented with touches of red, yellow, and green. The composition sits quietly between portrait and pattern, built from oil on paper laid down on cardboard in 1924. Alexei Jawlensky, a German artist born in 1864 and died in 1941, worked within Expressionism, exploring the human head as abstract form.

Where it works

Pastel artwork suited to living rooms and hallways, and to hotel guest rooms, in a vertical format.
