Alexej von Jawlensky (Born in 1864) was born in Torschok. He was the fifth child of Alexandra and her husband Georgi von Jawlensky. His father moved the family to Moscow when he was 10 years old. He began his artistic training in 1889 after a career as an officer in the army. Jawlensky studied in St. Petersburg under Ilja Repin who introduced him to Helene Nesnakomoff and Marianne von Werefkin – the former later became his wife. He became interested in painting after a few years of military training. Jawlensky worked directly with corporate art consultants and designers to help place his original art in site specific locations. The framed Alexej von Jawlensky art are not only meant for hanging on the wall, but they are also meant to inspire those who view them. His style evokes a sense of tranquility and peace in his art. In 1896, he accompanied the two to Munich where they went to visit a private art school where he met Kandinsky Wassily, a renowned artist of his time. Jawlensky undertook several trips to France; and at the 'Salon d'automne', he was able to show 10 paintings with the help of Djagilev Sergej. The artist also met Matisse Henri for the first time. Since he began producing artwork, the artist was consistently one of the top selling artists. He found himself noticing the beautiful contrasts, rhythms and patterns in his surroundings, all these influenced his art and he hoped to convey this in his artwork. He died in Wiesbaden in 1941.
