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.
