Alexej v. Jawlenksy, quote after C. Weiler, Köpfe, Gesichte, Meditationen. Hanau 1970, unpaginated (p. 92).
Between working on his ‘Meditations‘, which he was almost exclusively occupied with in the last years of his life, Jawlensky also made flower still lifes that are often characterized by a gripping freshness of intention. However, in some of the works from this genre Jawlensky also attained a meditative painting. In a note he describes his process of creation as follows: "In my last works I reduced the magic of the colors in order to reach more spiritual depth". (C. Weiler, Köpfe, Gesichte, Meditationen. Hanau 1970, unpaginated (p. 92)) Jawlensky strives for more spiritual immersion in his works, which he attains in this painting by means of a color reduction. The flowers seem to emerge from the dark background as if they were to deliver a secret message. Jawlensky‘s turn to the dark and mystical is not only restricted to the ‘Meditations‘. It is an introspective world that Jawlensky visualizes in these works, their fascination is absolutely in line with the bold works from his early days.
