    Video \(\PageIndex{1}\): Alexej von Jawlensky, Young Girl in a Flowered Hat, 1910, oil on cardboard (Albertina, Vienna)

    Key points:

    • This painting exemplifies the open brushwork, bright and jarring colors, bold outlines, and simplified forms that characterize Expressionism.
    • Similar to Gauguin and Kandinsky, Jawlensky believed rural and folk culture were more authentic than established European traditions.
    • Painted on cardboard, Young Girl in a Flowered Hat contrasts the raw, unaffected quality of Jawlensky’s technique to the delicate sophistication of his modern subject.
