Abstract Head 1930

"Abstract Head" (1930) by Alexej von Jawlensky is a striking example of abstract expressionism. The painting's bold, geometric forms, like the red and white vertical line, evoke a sense of dynamism and energy. The artist uses vibrant colors, particularly the contrasting red and yellow, to create a sense of depth and movement. The composition is simple, with the head dominating the canvas, yet the simplified forms and strong lines create a powerful and memorable image. Jawlensky's work was influenced by his exploration of color and form, moving away from representational art to create powerful abstract expressions.
