Alexej von Jawlensky (1864-1941) is a recognized master whose works are kept in museums all over the world. He was a contemporary, associate and friend of Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Munter, Paul Klee and many other famous artists. In Russia he studied with Ilya Repin and admired the works of Valentine Serov, Konstantin Korovin and other masters of Russian realism and impressionism. In Germany since 1896, he had continued studies at Ashbe art school, where his friends also were the artists Igor Grabar, Marianne Werefkin, Dmitry Kardovsky. Therefore, this exhibition is in the context of his Russian contemporaries' works. Andreas Nesnakomoff-Jawlensky (1902-1984) was a son of Alexei Jawlensky. From his childhood, he was talented in art and many of his father's friends were amazed by his works. As an artist he was interested in nature, people and life, so his works are always full of color, sun and air.

Ver voordat in de Westerse wereld spirituele en esoterische stromingen als new age en mindfulness populair werden, combineert Alexej von Jawlensky (1864-1941) met een open houding het beste uit verschillende religieuze stromingen. De van oorsprong Russische kunstenaar ontwikkelt zich in München tot één van de belangrijkste Duitse expressionisten en staat aan de wieg van de kunstenaarsgroep Der Blaue Reiter. In zijn beroemde kleurrijke, iconische ?koppen? zoekt hij naar de essentie van verbeelding, maar ook naar de spirituele beleving ervan.0In zijn latere Meditationen wordt het meditatieve aspect van het herhalen een belangrijke spirituele impuls voor zijn werkwijze. Jawlensky toont zich in zijn werk en zijn leven een modern kunstenaar die daarmee van grote invloed is op de generaties na hem.0Gemeentemuseum Den Haag presenteert Jawlensky?s rijke oeuvre van landschappen, stillevens en portretten in een groot overzicht waarbij de invloed van zijn moderne, spirituele beleving benadrukt wordt. In samenwerking met zijn nog levende kleindochters wordt voor het eerst ook uitgebreid aandacht besteedt aan zijn liefde voor de muziek en de inspiratie die hij daarin heeft gevonden.00Exhibition: Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, The Netherlands (29.09.2018 - 27.01.2019).

One of the most original and powerful Russian twentieth century artists, Alexej von Jawlensky worked for most of his life in Germany with early spells in France. After he had come to terms with the impact of Gauguin, Cezanne and Matisse, his work went through Fauve and expressionist periods in the development of a highly personal style, In 1909 he helped found the Neue Kunstlervereinigung in Munich, and along with Kandinsky was an outstanding member of that group. He became one of the great twentieth century explorers of the soul, for whom art was 'nostalgia for God.' This, the first of three volumes that will catalog nearly 2,000 oil paintings, covers the period up to his enforced departure from wartime Germany, during which he developed his brilliant use of colour. Pioneering introductory and end matter to the volume includes an authoritative biographical outline and a full list of one-man and group exhibitions, with Jawlensky's illuninating brief memoir of 1937. The artist's inventory of his work, carried on after his death by his son Andreas and his wife Maria, was continued after Andreas's death by his wife and daughters Lucia and Angelica, now keepers of their grandfather's archive in Locarno.
