Große Meditation: "Herr! lass mich erglühen". 1937.
Oil on canvas-textured paper, originally mounted on artist's board.
Monogrammed lower left and dated lower right. Inscribed with the artist's name, presumably by Lisa Kümmel, as well as “III. 1937” and “N. 21.” on the reverse. Also inscribed “Meditation LXII” by Andreas Jawlensky, the artist's son, on the reverse, as well as typographically titled on a label. 24.8 x 17.7 cm (9.7 x 6.9 in).
Mounted in a frame. [AW].
• Dark, glowing “Meditation” in a mysterious color scheme.
• Masterful visualization of Jawlensky's excellent glazed painting style.
• Jawlensky transforms the human face into an icon-like manifestation of religious feeling with great empathy.
• After the National Socialists had banned Jawlensky from exhibiting in 1933, he began the series “Meditations” the following year.
• From the estate of the artist.
PROVENANCE: Estate of the artist.
