Variation No. 10 1916

"Variation No. 10", created in 1916 by Russian artist Alexej von Jawlensky, is an abstract painting with a distinctly geometric and colorful style. The painting features vibrant hues of green, blue, pink, and orange, forming abstract shapes that appear to be both geometric and organic. Jawlensky was a prominent member of the Blue Rider group, known for their exploration of expressionism and their use of bold colors and simplified forms. This painting exemplifies the group's style, reflecting their interest in exploring the relationship between color, form, and emotion. The "Variations" series were a part of Jawlensky's exploration of pure abstraction, in which he reduced forms to their essential elements while employing a vibrant and expressive color palette.
