Original Description
Alexei Jawlensky's Grosse Meditation: Schweben (1934) is a captivating example of the artist's late mystical abstraction. Painted during his exile in Switzerland, this work embodies Jawlensky's spiritual journey through simplified, icon-like forms. The composition features a radiant central "face" distilled into luminous color planes – floating eyes and lips emerge from vibrating fields of cobalt blue, deep red, and meditative black. These Expressionist color zones appear simultaneously solid and atmospheric, creating a sense of sacred suspension (as suggested by the German title Schweben – "hovering"). As part of his groundbreaking Meditations series, the painting represents a pivotal synthesis of Russian icon tradition, German Expressionism, and Modernist abstraction, influencing post-war lyrical abstraction. The work's haunting presence continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, bridging early 20th-century spiritual art and today's metaphysical explorations in painting.
For interiors, this masterwork's meditative quality shines in spaces designed for contemplation – consider hanging it in a study (opposite armchair lighting), meditation room (with neutral stone textures), or executive office (paired with Marcel Breuer furniture). The painting's 60x45cm typical format works well above mantels or as part of a salon-style wall with other Blaue Reiter pieces. In modern settings, let its colors dictate your accent palette: introduce indigo velvet cushions or terracotta ceramics to echo its chromatic depth. For galleries with high ceilings, a museum-quality reproduction at original scale creates stunning dialogue with sculptural lighting. In minimalist spaces, frame it with a slender oxidized silver border to complement the work’s metallic undertones while maintaining its mystical aura. The composition’s verticality makes it ideal for narrow wall spaces between windows or bookshelves.
