Abstract Head

At about the end of the World War I, Alexej von Jawlensky started to draw 'mystic heads' or 'faces of saints'. He gave them poetic titles like Moonlight or Inner Look. Similarly to Claude Monet, he ended up concentrating on a single theme. Its appearance remained more or less constantly the same, yet varied in the use of the brush, the colourings and, first of all, in the mimic art in order to bring up new aspects until yet unknown of a transcendent spirituality.
