O soše
Over the course of several decades, Lyonel Feininger made hundreds of sawn and painted wood toys that that he gifted to family and friends at Christmas. The artist once described the humorous vein in his work as the "childlike joyous and fantastic-bizarre Feininger world."

Celý životopis1919
First faculty member of the Bauhaus
When Walter Gropius founds the Bauhaus, Feininger becomes his first faculty appointment and the master artist in charge of the printmaking workshop. Among those who attend his workshops are Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, Hans Friedrich Grohs and Margarete Koehler-Bittkow.
1924
Founding of “The Blue Four”
In 1924 he becomes one of the founders of the exhibition society “The Blue Four” (German: Blaue Vier).
1928
Start of his photographic work
From 1928 until the mid-1950s he produces a large body of photographic work; in Dessau his neighbor is the experimental photographer László Moholy-Nagy, who encourages him. He keeps the photographs within his circle of friends and never shows them to the public in his lifetime, giving only a few prints to Walter Gropius and Alfred H. Barr Jr.

When the Nazis come to power in 1933, the situation becomes unbearable for Feininger and his wife; the Nazis declare his work “degenerate.”
