Landschaft am Genfersee c. 1914

"Landschaft am Genfersee" by Alexej von Jawlensky, created around 1914, is an abstract landscape painting. Jawlensky, a key figure in the Expressionist movement, uses bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors to depict the scene. The painting showcases his signature style, emphasizing color and form over precise representation. While the subject is recognizable, the simplified forms and distorted shapes create an emotional and subjective interpretation of the landscape, reflecting the artist's personal experience and response to nature.
