Variation No. 10
1916
During World War I, Alexej von Jawlensky fled to Switzerland and started his famous 'Variations' series, boiling landscapes down to their purest, most emotional forms. This vibrant piece features a giant green leaf shape dotted with orange spots, showing how he cared more about feelings than realistic facts. It’s a classic example of Expressionism, where he treated color and shape like a musical composition—he actually painted over 100 of these variations, each one a unique visual chord!
