About the artwork

Here Werefkin paints a scene from an open air performance. Summer Stage shows a man in a black coat, pink tunic and black coat wearing a black hat with feathers dancing on a stage before an audience. The dark sky and suggestion of moonlight from behind the stage sets the performance at night. Werefkin paints the dancer as larger than the audience, focusing our attention on him as hers would have been as an audience member. Theatrical and circus performances appear frequently in Werefkin’s expressionist paintings.

Please note that Small is the only print size we are able to offer for this artwork.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Marianne Werefkin (1860– 1938) was a Russian artist, and a central figure in the Expressionist art movement. Born into an aristocratic family, she trained at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. In 1892 she met fellow art student Alexej Jawlensky, who became her life partner and protégé. After gaining financial independence in 1896, she moved with Jawlensky to the artistic district of Schwabing, Munich, where Werefkin became an avant-garde salon hostess and patron. She abandoned realistic oil painting and concentrated instead on experimental drawing, sketching and writing. From 1908, she and Jawlensky collaborated with Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter at their Murnau artist commune. She co-founded the Neue Künstlervereinigung München and exhibited with The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) at Der Sturm gallery. During the First World War, Werefkin moved to Ascona, Switzerland, where she she co-founded the international Der Grossen Bären group in 1924. She remained a central figure in Ascona’s artistic life until her death.
