Variation: Träumerei 1916

"Variation: Träumerei" (1916) by Alexej von Jawlensky is a vibrant example of the artist's abstract style. The work features a field of colorful, organic shapes layered on top of one another, evoking a sense of depth and movement. While the title translates to "Daydream" in German, Jawlensky's composition transcends literal representation, suggesting a more subjective, emotional experience. This work is characteristic of Jawlensky's artistic journey, which evolved from Impressionism towards a more expressive, abstract style.
