'''Heilandsgesicht: Kopf "Lichte Ruhe"''' (Savior's Face: Head "Gentle Calm") is a notable work by Russian expressionist painter Alexei Jawlensky (1864–1941). Created in the early 20th century, this painting is part of a series in which Jawlensky explored the spiritual and expressive potential of the human face. The series, known as "Heilandsgesichter" or "Savior's Faces," reflects Jawlensky's deep engagement with the human visage as a subject for profound contemplation and a symbol of inner experience.

In "Lichte Ruhe," which can be translated as "Gentle Calm," Jawlensky presents a stylized face that is both serene and abstracted, characterized by simplified forms and a rich, resonant color palette. The work is emblematic of Jawlensky's transition from representational portraiture to a more abstracted, spiritual representation of the human countenance. The painting's title suggests a state of peacefulness and spiritual repose, themes that are recurrent in Jawlensky's oeuvre and particularly pronounced in his later works.

Jawlensky's approach to the series was influenced by his interest in theosophy and the spiritual philosophies of his time, as well as by his interactions with other artists of the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) group, with whom he shared an interest in the symbolic and emotional power of color and form. The "Heilandsgesichter" works are characterized by their intense colors, thick application of paint, and the recurring motif of the human face, which for Jawlensky, was a conduit to the viewer's inner life and a reflection of divine presence.

As part of Jawlensky's broader artistic legacy, "Heilandsgesicht: Kopf 'Lichte Ruhe'" holds a significant place in the history of expressionism and contributes to our understanding of the spiritual dimensions of early 20th-century art. The painting is not only a testament to Jawlensky's individual style and thematic preoccupations but also an example of the broader expressionist movement's departure from naturalism towards abstraction and the conveyance of inner emotional realities.
