and a motley crew of whimsical, elongated figures- such as the central trumpet player - whose distorted proportions and "grotesque" character recall his earlier comic strips. #LyonelFeininger
Gothic ruins of a church on a cliff overlooking the sea, a subject he encountered during his 1928 trip to the Baltic coast. The work combines multiple perspectives to show the ruin's form, with elements of Cubism and Orphism evident in its composition of geometric planes, graded colors for volume, and the superposition of planes to achieve transparency. Feininger's use of soft, diffused light and repetitive architectural forms, like Gothic arches, create a sense of mystical, almost dreamlike atmosphere in the painting
Ruin by the Sea by Lyonel Feininger, 1930 (oil on canvas)

LYONEL FEININGER. You know me...I save my favorites for last. This is entitled, "The Lady in Mauve." I love her!

LYONEL FEININGER. From 1930, "Market Church at Halle." The proportion of the building to the people is significant. A very imposing structure.

LYONEL FEININGER. From 1910, entitled "Uprising." Depiction of wartime at the turn of the century. The large man carrying the red flag is a sign of resistance!

LYONEL FEININGER. Entitled, "Village at Dusk." His exaggerated figures are so interesting.

LYONEL FEININGER. This reminds me of the house of mirrors at the fair. Another interesting fact about Feininger is that he also created art with painted wooden toy figures.

LYONEL FEININGER. Not sure what the symbolism is here, but the man playing the trombone means fun in my book. It appears others in the background are also playing instruments some type of celebration?

This is from 1913. A gentleman out for a stroll. Love the limited color palette. Feininger designed the cover the Bauhaus School for Art's 1919 manifesto. He also taught at the school for a number of years.

LYONEL FEININGER. You can easily see that he was a great caricaturist and comic artist. Notice his signature in the upper left hand corner. This guy is quirky and even a bit scary, but I like him!

LYONEL FEININGER. I ran across this very short documentary clip on the life of Feininger. Such a creative soul he was. Please take a moment to enjoy. They also share one of his musical compositions.

LYONEL FEININGER. From 1909, entitled, "A Village Near Paris." I love the use of warm colors and the quirky figures. Feininger was married twice and had five children. Two that also became prominent artists.

LYONEL FEININGER. More nautical, again with the unusual angles. The other thing to note is that he signed his paintings in either the top left or right hand corners, as opposed to the bottom as most artists.
