Alexej von Jawlensky Quotes and Sayings - Page 1
-
“My art in the last period has all been in small format, but my paintings have become even deeper and more spiritual, speaking truly through colour. Feeling that because of my illness I would not be able to paint very much longer, I worked like a man obsessed on these little 'Meditations' (a long series of small paintings he made during the last years of his life, with as main motif the schema of a face, ed.). And now I leave these small but, to me, important works to the future and to people who love art.”
-- Alexej von Jawlensky -
“I knew that I must paint not what I saw, but only what was in me, in my soul.”
-- Alexej von Jawlensky -
“The artist expresses only what he has within himself, not what he sees with his eyes”
-- Alexej von Jawlensky
