Jawlensky's Young Girl in a Flowered Hat - Smarthistory
Jawlensky's Young Girl in a Flowered Hat - Smarthistory
Assignment 1.
I found this picture interesting because of Jawlensky’s use of bold somewhat structured lines combined with vivid and raw, yet purposeful strokes of color. The skin tones in Jawlensky’s art are usually an odd hue for any person's skin, but he/she finds a way to draw your focus away from that. The way Jawlensky blends his/her colors together is masterful and simplistically free spirited at the same time. Every time I look at this piece a different aspect of its uniqueness stands out to me.
