And until 1914, just before the war, I painted my strongest works, known as the "pre-war works‘, during those years.“ Alexej von Jawlensky, Lebenserinnerungen, quoted from: Clemens Weiler. Alexej Jawlensky. Köpfe - Gesichte - Meditationen, Hanau 1970, p. 112. "The vibrant painting " Mädchen mit Zopf “ (Girl with Braid)" was created during Jawlensky"s pivotal creative period, when he and his partner Marianne von Werefkin, as well as the artist couple Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky, invented German Expressionism in Murnau between 1908 and 1910." Dr. Roman Zieglgänsberger, May 2023, Museum Wiesbaden.
