Lyonel Feininger, who was born in 1871 in New York to German immigrants, studied painting in Berlin and Paris. Feininger´s contact with Cubism and his acquaintance with Robert Delaunay helped him to develop his individual style of painting. Shapes and dimension appear as transparent and facetted surfaces in reserved coloring.
Lyonel Feininger taught at the Bauhaus in Weimar for many years and founded the artists´ group of the ”Blaue Vier“ together with Kandinsky, Klee and Jawlensky; they thought of themselves as the successors to the ”Blaue Reiter“. Since his works were classified as ”degenerate art“ by the Nazi regime in 1933, Feininger returned to the U.S. where he died in 1956 in New York.
