LYONEL FEININGER
1871–1956
  
Nearly fifty years passed between Lyonel Feininger's departure from New York as a youth and his exile from Germany in 1937. Feininger began his career as a popular illustrator and went on to distinguish himself as a printmaker, painter, and teacher at the Bauhaus school of art and design. Forced out of Germany by Hitler's campaign against the makers of so-called degenerate art, Feininger was fascinated by the New York City to which he returned. The soaring lines of its tall buildings became a regular subject of his work.
