Everything! / 100 years of Jawlensky in Wiesbaden / ed. Roman Zieglgansberger
100 years ago, Jawlensky (1864–1941) moved to Wiesbaden, where the world's most important public collection of the well-known expressionist is located today. All of the creative phases of the painter, who came from Russia and worked in southern Germany, Paris and Switzerland, are presented in major works – an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle from the very beginning of German Expressionism.
Jawlensky's career and his completely independent and top-class oeuvre are traced in rich images and texts: from his beginnings in Munich, his stays in Murnau and the eventful pre-war years, the Swiss exile period and the politically and culturally eventful period in Wiesbaden to the assessment of his art as degenerate under the National Socialists. With his overall oeuvre, the important representative of the Blue Rider proves to be a great painter of classical modernism.
