Alexej Georgewitsch von Jawlensky (1864 – 1941) was a Russian expressionist painter active in Germany.
He was a key member of the New Munich Artist's Association (Neue Künstlervereinigung München),
Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) group and later the Die Blaue Vier (The Blue Four).

 

Self-portrait, 1905

"I knew that I must paint not what I saw, but only what was in me, in my soul. Figuratively speaking,
 it was like this: In my heart I felt as if there were an organ, which I had to sound. And nature, which
 I saw before me, only prompted me. And that was a key that unlocked this organ and made it sound...

They are songs without words."

 Alexej von Jawlensky, Lebenserinnerungen, 1938
