Original Description
Alexei Jawlensky's Meditation series exemplifies the artist's mature mystical abstraction, painted between 1934–1937 during his exile in Switzerland. This emotionally charged work distills Jawlensky's signature "mystical heads" into near-geometric simplicity – a spiritual icon rendered through bold outlines and luminous color fields. The composition features a stylized face divided by a strong vertical axis, with expressive eyes floating atop swathes of radiant blue, red, and ochre that seem to glow from within. As a key figure bridging Expressionism and abstract sacred art, Jawlensky created these meditative images while crippled by arthritis, transforming physical limitation into transcendent visual poetry. The series represents his profound exploration of inward vision, influenced both by Russian Orthodox icons and the Color theories of his friend Kandinsky. Today these works are celebrated as vital precursors to postwar abstraction, particularly Mark Rothko's color field paintings.
When displaying Meditation in interiors, consider placing it as a spiritual focal point – perhaps above a reading nook or meditation space where its contemplative energy can resonate. The painting's bold hues pair beautifully with neutral linen textures or dark walnut furnishings in transitional or Japandi-style spaces. For offices, position it opposite furniture arrangements to create visual rest amid work zones; its vertical format suits narrow walls or spaces between bookshelves. Echo Jawlensky's palette through cobalt ceramics or terracotta accents against white walls, avoiding competing patterns. At approximately 50×40 cm (typical for the series), the work demands intimate viewing – install it at eye level in spaces where viewers can pause within 1–1.5 meters. Its spiritual gravitas makes it ideal for spaces dedicated to creativity or reflection rather than high-traffic social areas.
