EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and enigmatic artwork by the Russian artist Alexej von Jawlensky. This portrait, created with oil and pencil on board, transports viewers to the early twentieth century. The painting showcases a close-up of a woman's face against a vibrant red background. With her penetrating gaze looking away from the viewer, she exudes an air of contemplation and mysticism. Her brown hair cascades around her face, adding depth to her expression. Jawlensky skillfully captures the essence of this female subject through his use of color and composition. The woman's aversion towards the viewer creates an aura of mystery while inviting us to contemplate her thoughts. Mounted on board, this artwork highlights Jawlensky's mastery in combining different mediums to create visual impact. The juxtaposition of oil painting and pencil drawing adds texture and dimensionality to the piece. As we delve into this mesmerizing portrait, we are transported into a world where modern art meets occultism. The artist invites us to explore themes such as magic, spirituality, and introspection through his portrayal of this young adult woman. "Mystical Head: Woman's Head on a Red Background" is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to Jawlensky's ability to capture human emotions in his portraiture.
