Oil painting “Abstrakter Kopf: Urform” (“Abstract Head: Archetype”).

This painting is often referred to as both “Abstract Head: Primordial Form” (Abstrakter Kopf: Urform) and “Abstract Head: Archetype”.

The terms “primordial form” (Urform) and “archetype” are used almost interchangeably in descriptions of Jawlensky’s work and series, reflecting his pursuit of a universal and spiritual representation of the human face, inspired by Russian Orthodox iconography and philosophy.

The artist himself created hundreds of “abstract heads,” each with subtle variations in color and form, but all based on this same fundamental structure or “archetype.”

Contributor: Alexej von Jawlensky (1864–1941)

Date: 1918
