Alexej von Jawlensky 1864 - 1941 Prerow (Darß) Pommern. 1911. Oil on canvas, originally mounted on cardboard. Signed in the lower right. Titled and barely legibly inscribed “Fluss + Brücke” (River + Bridge) on the reverse. 32.4 x 40.8 cm (12.7 x 16 in). [AW]. • Rare early expressionist landscape from the “Blauer Reiter” period. • Jawlensky considered the landscapes that he had painted in Prerow in 1911 to be his best. • At the height of his creativity: painting that is maximally detached from nature, with free use of color and form. • Works from this period in Prerow on the Baltic Sea are held in renowned museum collections, including the National Museum, Cardiff, the Museum Wiesbaden, and the Kunstmuseum Basel.
