Love
1925
Alexej von Jawlensky painted 'Liebe' (Love) in 1925, part of his hauntingly beautiful 'Abstract Heads' series created while he suffered from crippling arthritis. Unable to hold a brush easily, he distilled the human face into pure geometry—soft blocks of grey, pink, and orange that float like a meditation. The title suggests romance, but the rigid, almost architectural shapes feel more like a quiet, internal spiritual journey than a traditional love story. It’s a testament to an artist who refused to stop creating even when his body failed him.
