Two of the paintings we found in the museum were by Lyonel Feininger. These are the two paintings I will use in the living room.
1. Clouds Above The Sea IV 1942 Oil on Canvas by Lyonel Feininger (New York 1871-1956)
2. Edge of the Woods 1928 Oil on Canvas by Lyonel Feininger (NY 1871-1956) Lyonel Feininger (1871 - 1956) was a German-American painter and caricaturist. He grew up in New York, but moved to Berlin because his parents wanted him to study music (violin and composition) in 1887 when he was 16 years old. He decides to study drawing instead. He began his artistic endeavors as a cartoonist, and caricature artist and worked doing this for about 20 years. He began to produce paintings in 1907. Those that he painted between 1907-1910 were based on his early cartoons and caricatures. Then he visited Paris a couple of times (1906-7 and 1911) and met Robert Delaunay, and encountered Cubism. His later work shows a strong use of prismatic style, and planes of colour emphasized by intersecting light rays. Many concentrate on an architectural feature as well. In 1937 some of his work was included in the 'degenerate art' showing that the Nazis displayed to criticize artists who were working in the modern styles. His wife was of Jewish descent and they fled to America in 1937. He left a large amount of his work hidden in the country with a friend . He continued to develop his cubist style in America.
