Picture "Marine (with Three Sailboats)" (1918)

Back in Germany, Feininger developed into a central figure of modernism. He was close to the artists' group “Der Blaue Reiter” and was appointed by Walter Gropius as master of the graphic workshops at the Bauhaus in 1919. There, in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, he had a decisive influence on the visual appearance of the school. Alongside Oskar Schlemmer, it was Feininger in particular who consistently implemented the Bauhaus' ideal of order in his art. Unlike many of his contemporaries, his focus was not on the human figure but on architecture - particularly Gothic church buildings, whose clear structures and lighting inspired him to create his characteristic style.

The architecture of small German towns became the starting point for his studies, from which an unmistakable, light-flooded style emerged. It is precisely these works that make his paintings so appealing - for collectors who want to buy Lyonel Feininger paintings, they open up access to a world of light, form and spirituality.

During the National Socialist era, Feininger's works were defamed as “degenerate art”. He therefore returned to his native New York in 1937. There he devoted himself with renewed intensity to the depiction of urban architecture and created impressive impressions of the Manhattan skyline. Anyone looking to buy Feininger today will find fascinating evidence of his engagement with the modern city in these late works.

Whether you are a collector or a lover of classic modern art - anyone who wants to buy a work by Lyonel Feininger is making a choice for artistic clarity, intellectual depth and lasting aesthetic value.
