Up until February 18, 2024 the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt/Main shows the first Lyonel Feininger retrospective in over 25 years in Germany, a welcome occasion to (re)discover the Bauhaus master and the lesser-known facets of his extensive oeuvre. Unlike past retrospectives it goes well beyond the iconic works and also features caricatures, toys and recently rediscovered photographs.
Feininger, born in New York, in 1888 passed the entry exam of the Königliche Akademie der Künste in Berlin and although he never completed his studies soon launched his career as a caricaturist for German, French and American papers.
It took until 1907 for his first painting to emerge it proved highly impactful: in his early figurative paintings, inspired by paper cuts and shooting gallery figures, Feininger experimented with surfaces, space and movement until roughly 1911. In this very year Feininger discovered Cubism and Robert Delaunay in particular as well as the Italian Futurists who proved hugely influential as his 1913 painting „Gelmeroda III“ demonstrates.
At the same time the Gelmeroda series, which spans 42 years between 1913 and 1955, is proof of Feininger’s undomgmatic moving between styles as later works are e.g. carried out in expressionist and cubist idioms.
But Gelmeroda wasn’t the only recurring topic in Feininger’s oeuvre: since his childhood days he was fascinated with sailboats and ships and consequently depicted them in crystalline, cubist forms that today rank among his popular works. Closely related to this body of work are his beach scenes, remarkable cubist compositions that sensibly capture the loneliness of the empty beach as well as the unique color moods of the sea.
These as well as the other works in the exhibition are crisply reproduced in the exhibition catalogue, recently published by Hirmer Verlag. In seven essays experts address a range of topics including the genesis of the Bauhaus manifesto, the importance of music for Feininger’s art or his life as caricaturist. Both exhibition and catalogue offer a unique opportunity to get to know Lyonel Feininger in the entirety of his artistic existence, surely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
