Lyonel Feininger – fascinated attention – artist bio

Lyonel Charles Feininger (July 17, 1871 – January 13, 1956) was a German-American painter, and a leading exponent of Expressionism.

The most beautiful landscape cannot hold my fascinated attention as much as nature by the seaside and all that is connected with water. Where I used to strive for movement and restlessness I now attempt to sense and express the complete total calm of objects and the surrounding air.
