A portrait of the dancer Alexander Sakharoff by Alexej von Jawlensky, rendered in bold colours and simplified forms characteristic of Expressionism. The painting captures Sakharoff's theatrical persona and emotional intensity.
Alexej von Jawlensky, a Russian Expressionist painter active in Germany, created this striking portrait of the dancer Alexander Sakharoff. Jawlensky is known for his intense, colourful portraits that explore the inner life of his subjects. This work exemplifies his style through its bold colours and simplified forms. Sakharoff, a dancer known for his androgynous appearance and expressive performances, is depicted in a theatrical pose, wearing a red garment adorned with a rose. His face is heavily made up, with stark white skin and dark eyes and lips, enhancing the dramatic effect. The background is rendered in broad strokes of turquoise and green, contrasting with the red of Sakharoff's attire. Jawlensky's use of colour and form conveys a sense of emotional intensity and psychological depth. The portrait captures Sakharoff's persona, a figure who challenged conventional notions of gender and performance. Jawlensky's Expressionist approach aimed to capture the essence of his subjects, rather than a mere likeness, resulting in a powerful and evocative image.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
