Expressionist Paintings by Famous German Artist Lyonel Feininger

Lyonel Feininger was a painter, comic strip artist, and caricaturist of the Expressionist Art Movement.

He was born in New York City and traveled to Germany to study art. His father was a German composer and violinist, while his American mother was a singer.

Feininger was associated with the Der Blaue Reiter group of artists and was a founder of the Bauhaus School of Art. He was the first Bauhaus master artist in charge of printmaking in 1919. He was declared a degenerate artist by the Nazis, prompting a move back to America in 1936.

He is a significant figure of the Cubist Art Movement as well as the Expressionist art school. Many of Feininger’s Expressionist paintings are distinctive and angular. Two of his most famous paintings, Sail Boats 1929 and Lady in Mauve 1922, are identifiable by his unique artistic style.
