About the piece
Painted in 1918, this work by Alexej von Jawlensky is part of his celebrated 'Variations' series. 'Zärtlichkeit' (Tenderness) showcases the artist's move toward a spiritualized abstraction, where landscape-derived forms are distilled into rhythmic patches of luminous color. The visible texture of the oil paint on the support adds a tactile quality to the modern, expressive composition.
