    The document discusses Jawlensky's 1917 painting "Niobe" and how it engages with concepts from Jacques Lacan's theory of the "mirror phase" and recognition of the "other" through a series of quotes from Jawlensky about finding religious feeling in the human face and being inspired by Russian icons. Images of the painting "Niobe", other works by Jawlensky, a child's drawing, a ritual mask, and a Russian Orthodox icon are included along with brief captions

    I had realized that great art should only be painted with religious feeling. This
    was something I could only convey in the human face.
    -letter from Jawlensky to Jan Verkade

    The illusion of self-recognition

    Every artist works in a tradition. I am Russian born, and as such my heart


    and soul have always felt very close to old Russian art, and to Russian
    iconsThese arts would set up a holy vibration in my soul, for they spoke
    to me in a language of deep spirituality. It was this art that gave me my
    tradition.
    -Jawlensky in a request to sell and exhibit his works in Germany

    Niobe, 1917
