Lyonel Feininger Figurative Drawings and Watercolors

American, 1871-1956
Lionel Feininger (1871–1956), a German-American painter, graphic artist, and caricaturist, developed a distinctive style influenced by Cubism and Expressionism. Born in New York City but raised in Germany, Feininger honed his skills at the Hamburg School of Arts and Crafts before studying under renowned artists in Berlin. Initially associated with the avant-garde group "Die Brücke" (The Bridge), Feininger's style evolved over time, gravitating towards Cubism after being inspired by artists like Picasso and Braque. His participation in the "Der Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Rider) exhibition in 1911 further solidified his reputation as an essential figure in the Expressionist movement. Returning to the United States during World War I, Feininger became associated with the American avant-garde, though the Nazis later targeted his works in the "Degenerate Art" exhibition. Feininger experimented with various mediums throughout his career, producing bold and vibrant works depicting urban landscapes and architectural motifs. His legacy as a pioneer of modern art continues to resonate, with his contributions to Cubism, Expressionism, and abstract art celebrated worldwide. Feininger passed away in 1956, leaving behind a rich and influential body of work.
