Oil on board framed. Featuring portrait of a man. Signed and attr. Alexej von Jawlensky (Russian, 1864-1941) Signature on lower left corner. 19 x 15.5 in (48.3 x 39.4). Alexej von Jawlensky primarily painted archetypal portraits in an increasingly abstract style, eventually reducing the face to simple geometric forms in contrasting colors. Earlier on, his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes drew inspiration from Wassily Kandinsky—with whom he helped form “Der Blaue Reiter” (The Blue Rider)—as well as the Fauves (especially Henri Matisse) and the Neo-Impressionists, particularly with respect to the use of vibrant color.
