Landscape with Bridge
circa 1909
Bursting with electric blues, sunny yellows, and deep purples, this vibrant landscape throws traditional realism right out the window. Created around 1909 during his time in the picturesque village of Murnau, Jawlensky was part of a radical group of Expressionists who believed color should express emotion rather than just mimic reality. You can almost feel the thick, energetic brushstrokes pulsing across the surface as he captures a simple bridge and hillside with the intensity of a fever dream. It's a perfect snapshot of the moment modern art decided to get loud and unapologetic.
