Mystical Head: Andrej is a 1917 unspecified by Alexej von Jawlensky, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
This painting shows a head, the face tilted slightly to the right. The face is painted with bold, flat colors and geometric shapes, giving it a stylized look. The background is a solid color, which helps the face stand out. The face is simplified, with just a few lines and shapes used to suggest the features. The eyes are large and expressive, and the mouth is a small, curved line. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity. The painting's use of bold colors and geometric shapes gives it a sense of modernity and experimentation.
