At The Baltic Sea 1911

"At The Baltic Sea" (1911) by Alexej von Jawlensky (1864-1941) is an expressionist painting that depicts a seascape with a bold, abstract approach. The artist employs vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes to convey the feeling of the natural world. The foreground is dominated by a field of fiery reds and oranges, which contrast sharply with the deep blue of the sea and the dark silhouettes of trees. A lone ship sails on the horizon, providing a sense of scale and distance. The work reflects Jawlensky’s interest in capturing the essence of a place through color and form, rather than precise detail.
