Andreij Jawlensky was born in 1902 as the only child of Alexej Jawlensky and Helene Nesnakomoff during a trip to Latvia on Ansbaki near Preli. Little Andreij or Andreas has been painting with his father and also with Marianne Werefkin since he was five years old. The works of van Gogh also impressed him at an early age. "Red Poppy," a still life, becomes the five-year-old's first painting - a fascinating work that makes the boy's exuberant talent evident. At the age of only six, Andreas Jawlensky received his first award for his paintings. By the time he was ten, he had already been invited to an exhibition in Stockholm and received a prize from the King of Sweden. When Andreas Jawlensky is just twelve years old, the famous Ferdinand Hodler sees one of his virtuoso drawings. Spontaneously, he gives two of his own sheets to receive the boy's work in exchange.
In 1918 Andreas Jawlensky moves with his parents to Ascona. Here the youthful Andreas paints amazing dream visions: Landscape paintings from the Russian homeland, which the boy nevertheless never consciously experienced. His father, Alexej Jawlensky, is deeply impressed by the power and boldness of these works. The collaboration between father and son became increasingly intense.
In 1922, at the age of 20, Andreas Jawlensky moved to Wiesbaden. The bright, imaginative colors lend his rare surviving paintings of the following years a fairy-tale, mystical aura of special expressiveness. Will Grohmann, the eminent art historian, expressed his enthusiasm in 1925 in the magazine "Der Cicerone".
Andreij Jawlensky took part in important avant-garde exhibitions in the 1920s, for example in 1923 at the Fides Gallery in Dresden or in 1926 at the Nassauischer Kunstverein in Wiesbaden. In 1929 Andreas Jawlensky had a solo exhibition at Schames in Frankfurt.
After the Second World War, Andreas Jawlensky dealt primarily with his father's estate, before producing an impressive, dreamlike-expressive late work. from 1956 he lives with his family in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland. Exhibitions in New York (1958), Düsseldorf (1959), Los Angeles (1964) and Wiesbaden (1978) pay tribute to his work.
Andreas Jawlensky dies in 1984 in Barga, Tuscany, in the house of his son-in-law.
