Stilleben mit gestickter Decke 1910

Alexej von Jawlensky's 1910 "Stilleben mit gestickter Decke" is a still life painting depicting a vase, fruit, and other objects on a table. The work is known for its vibrant colors, which evoke a sense of movement and energy. The artist's characteristic use of thick brushstrokes and bold contours lend a distinctive, almost abstract quality to the painting. While rooted in traditional still-life subject matter, Jawlensky's bold style clearly positions the work within the context of early 20th century Expressionism.
