EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic "Head of a Woman" painted by Alexei von Javlensky in 1911. The artist, known for his association with the Blue Rider movement and Russian avant-garde, created this expressionistic female portrait that emanates both beauty and melancholy. Rendered on oil on cardboard, Javlensky's brushstrokes bring forth a vivid explosion of colorfulness against a gloomy backdrop. The woman's face exudes tenderness and light, yet her eyes reveal an underlying sadness that tugs at one's heartstrings. This fine art image captures the essence of loneliness and introspection, inviting viewers to delve into their own thoughts. Considered part of the degenerate art movement during its time, this painting challenges traditional notions of portraiture with its bold use of color and unconventional style. It is a poetic representation of feminine grace intertwined with inner turmoil. Now preserved in a private collection, this rare glimpse into Javlensky's artistic mastery serves as a reminder of his contributions to modern art. As we gaze upon this young woman's visage frozen in time, we are transported back to early 20th-century Russia where creativity flourished amidst societal upheaval.
