Jawlensky and Werefkin by Gabriele Munter


In Gabriele Munters' Blaue Reiter painting, Jawlensky and Werefkin, the thick brush strokes and static movement create a quite, simple, country scene between a young couple. The nonexictant details in the painting, the blank faces and the plain flowers add to simplicity of the piece. The oil painting takes on the docile look of a watercolor painting. Since you can't really see what they are doing because they have no faces it looks sort of dreamy, not really in focus.
