Spanische Tänzerin. 1909.
Oil on cardboard.
Signed and dated in the upper left. 100 x 69.5 cm (39.3 x 27.3 in).
With the expressionist Murnau landscape from the same year on the reverse. Jawlensky also used this highly abstract landscape motif in a smaller format in the painting “Murnauer Landschaft”, today part of the collection of the 'Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus', Munich (Murnauer Landschaft, 1909, 50.4 x 54.5 cm, catalogue raisonné no. 283). [JS].
• Jawlensky's portraits from 1909 and 1910 are considered milestones of European Modernism.
• “Spanish Dancer” - a masterpiece of unbridled expressionist quality, comparable to Jawlensky's famous “Portrait of the Dancer Aleksandr Sakharov” (1909, Lenbachhaus Munich).
• Almost all of the paintings from this short creative phase that is characterized by strong colors are owned by international museums today.
• Alongside “Girl with Peonies” (Von der Heydt-Museum, Wuppertal) and “Red Lips” (lost), this is the largest painting from this important work phase.
• Both sides were painted during Jawlensky's best creative period: the reverse shows a bright and highly abstract Murnau landscape from 1909.
• Shortly after it was made, it became part of the important modern art collection of Josef Gottschalk in Düsseldorf, and remained in the family for over nine decades.
• The “Blue Rider” is currently honored with a comprehensive exhibition at the Tate Modern (until October 2024).
Export of the work from Germany will be possible.

"There are only very few paintings by Alexej von Jawlensky showcasing this level of quality, and most of them have been museum-owned for many decades. [..] The 'Spanish Dancer' is one of those few exceptional Jawlensky paintings that have made for the artist's worldwide fame today, just as they caused a sensation and provided inspiration back then."
