Alexej Jawlensky, a friend of Wassily Kandinsky and member of the Der Blaue Reiter, rides again in new show

In Germany, Jawlensky is still best known for the Munich period. However, it is his later works created in Switzerland that reveal his interesting evolution as an artist.

Mathias Ussing Seeberg emphasizes that Jawlensky's departure from Germany marked a significant evolution in his art, where his works became increasingly abstract and colorful.

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition showcases 61 works from Jawlensky, highlighting his transition from wild palettes to his more subdued style due to arthritis.

Werefkin, together with Jawlensky, played a vital role in keeping the Munich group united; she hosted discussions and gatherings that inspired many of the artists.
