This time this Still life is another one in german.
Stilleben mit Äpfeln und Flasche
Still life with Apples and Bottle
Such original titles, aren't they?
This painting is by the Russian painter Alexej von Jawlensky. Born in 1864 Torzhok, Tver Governorate, Russian Empire (wherever that is) and died in 1941 Wiesbaden, Germany. He is whats called an expressionist painter. One who paints to express emotional meaning, rather than reality. I can't tell what emotion he is trying to tell with this painting, but I assume that's for the viewer to decide. This man pursued his painting career by moving to Munich, Germany, and met with other Russian painters. He suffered from Arthritis in his older days and stopped painting. Then he died. What a great life.
