Για το γλυπτό
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."

Στη ζωή του καλλιτέχνη: Lyonel Feininger
Όλη η ζωή1919
First faculty member of the Bauhaus

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.
