The anniversary of Alexej von Jawlensky's 150th birthday takes place in 2014 (born in Torschok/Russia in 1864, deceased 1941 in Wiesbaden). On this occasion, the Museum Wiesbaden, owner of the world's most notable collection of the painter who was a member of the inner circle of the Blauer Reiter (Blue Rider) group of artists, is presenting the exhibition "Horizont Jawlensky - Alexej von Jawlensky as reflected in his artistic encounters 1900–1914". The centre of the exhibition is Jawlensky's Munich period during which he achieved his powerful, colourfully expressive style through varied encounters with renowned artists in Germany, France and Switzerland. These fateful relationships have barely been studied in direct contrast to date. The works presented in the exhibition document Jawlensky's encounter with the art of Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gaugin, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse or Ferdinand Hodler and Edvard Munch among others as well as the German painters of the Leibl Circle or the secessionist Lovis Corinth.
In addition to some 75 works by Alexej von Jawlensky, around 50 paintings by those artists with whom he dealt intensely in those years will be presented – including Carl Schuch, Lovis Corinth, Anton Ažbe or Franz von Lenbach who were still of interest to him around 1900, then the painter colleagues he met in Germany with Gabriele Münter, Wassily Kandinsky, Marianne Werefkin.
