EDITORS COMMENTS
Mystical Head: Head of a Girl (Frontal)," a captivating oil on cardboard painting created by Russian Expressionist artist Alexei Javlensky in 1918, invites viewers to delve into the enigmatic depths of mythology and allegory. The image, now part of the esteemed collection at Stiftung Im Obersteg, showcases Javlensky's masterful use of color and form to evoke a sense of otherworldly wonder. The painting depicts the frontal profile of a young girl with an elongated, ethereal face. Her eyes are closed, and her lips are parted slightly, as if in a trance. Her hair cascades down her back in loose, flowing waves, blending seamlessly with the background. The muted, earthy tones of the painting's palette create a sense of otherworldliness, while the girl's features are rendered in bold, expressive strokes. Javlensky's use of Expressionism in this work is evident in the distorted, almost surreal representation of the girl's features. Her elongated head and exaggerated facial expressions suggest a connection to the spiritual realm, while the painting's title and the girl's closed eyes hint at a deeper, mystical meaning. The painting's mythological undertones are further emphasized by its title, "Mystical Head: Head of a Girl (Frontal)." The use of the word "mystical" suggests a connection to the supernatural or divine, while the term "head" alludes to the Greek mythological figure Medusa, whose head was said to have the power to turn onlookers to stone. Overall, Javlensky's "Mystical Head: Head of a Girl (Frontal)" is a mesmerizing work of art that invites viewers to explore the depths of their own imagination and connect with the mystical and allegorical traditions of art and literature.
