EDITORS COMMENTS
Abstract Head: Apollo, a captivating masterpiece by Russian artist Alexei Javlensky, painted in 1931 and currently housed in the esteemed collection of the Stiftung Im Obersteg, invites viewers to explore the depths of mythology and the human psyche. This oil on cardboard painting, a prime example of Expressionism, transcends traditional representations of the ancient Greek god Apollo. Instead, Javlensky imbues the deity with a modern, abstract sensibility, challenging the viewer's perception of mythological figures. The swirling lines and bold colors of Abstract Head: Apollo evoke a sense of movement and energy, as if the god himself is in a state of transformation. The abstracted features of the face, with its elongated nose and intense, piercing eyes, suggest a profound introspection and contemplation. The contrasting colors of blue and orange add a sense of dynamism and tension, further emphasizing the complexities of the human condition. Javlensky's use of allegory and literature in his work is evident in this painting, as the abstracted form of Apollo can be seen as a representation of the god's many facets - the sun god, the god of music, poetry, and prophecy. The artist's exploration of these themes through the lens of abstraction invites viewers to reconsider the role of mythology in contemporary art and culture. Abstract Head: Apollo is a testament to Javlensky's mastery of the medium and his ability to push the boundaries of traditional art forms. This painting continues to captivate and inspire, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of mythology and the human psyche in a fresh and innovative way.
