About the artwork
Alexej von Jawlensky is the artist behind "Große Meditation; 'Herr! lass mich erglühen'", dated 1937. Abstract in brief: Movements of later decades, including Abstract Expressionism and geometric abstraction, carried non-representational ideas into new scales and materials. Abstract art moves away from depicting recognisable objects and relies on colour, line, shape, and surface instead. Historical background, 1937: Posters, magazines, and illustrated books were major ways for the public to meet new art and design. Dada and Surrealism followed the First World War, the Bauhaus school was founded in 1919, and Art Deco became the fashionable decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. The catalogue places it in Abstract. The format is portrait.
"Große Meditation; 'Herr! lass mich erglühen'" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A portrait format suits narrow wall spaces, hallways, and the area beside a door or window. Abstract compositions work through rhythm, colour, and form, which makes them especially effective in modern interiors and in spaces that need a strong visual accent without a literal narrative. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
