Still Life with a Purple Bowl
Pictures by Alexej von Jawlensky
Alexej von Jawlensky's 1912 still life sets red and green fruit, a lilac bowl, a blue jug and a pink cloth against a deep night-blue table. Working in Munich and Murnau beside Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter, Jawlensky outlined everything in bold blue and let color carry the feeling. For someone who loves bright, bold painting.
