Variation, Night
1916
Alexej von Jawlensky dives headfirst into pure emotion with this vibrant explosion of color. Created in 1916 during the height of Expressionism, this piece strips away the physical world to leave only the raw feeling of a night landscape. You can almost feel the heavy, moody purples and blacks clashing with sudden bursts of fiery red and electric green. It's a perfect example of how artists of his time stopped trying to copy reality and started trying to paint what a scene felt like.
