Impressionist & Modern ArtstoryA number of works by two artists bearing one of the most illustrious names in art history will be offered in the upcoming Impressionist and Modern Day Sale, showing the breadth of the family’s contribution — from early experiments in to abstraction — to experimental photography and beyond. The Feininger legacy spans a critical period in the birth of Modernism, from Bauhaus Master Lyonel’s investigations in the early twentieth century, through to T. Lux’s own rigorous approach to image-making and manipulation of the pictorial plane. Capturing a fleeting image of t.mes and space, a memory, a sent.mes nt of the past, is at the core of Lyonel Feininger’s creative process. He did not create art for purely aesthetic reasons, but rather because of an urge to bring his innermost.mes mories to life. When Feininger moved back to New York in 1937 after almost 50 years in Germany, he found himself longing for the Baltic Sea, which he first fell in love with during a visit to the island of Rügen in 1892. Desert Sea, 1945 is an expression of those joyous memories of summers on the Baltic.The composition, with two small figures looking out towards the vast sky and sea, a tiny ship just visible on the horizon, is reminiscent of Feininger’s early cloud pictures of 1923. The bold lines and broad swaths of colour, however, mark Desert Sea as emblematic of the graphic style of Feininger’s late period in which it is line, and not colour, that structures the composition. The rich reds and ochers, rather than the tranquil blues typical of Feininger’s other seascapes, reference the striking rock formations of the California desert, which Feininger first saw in 1937. Completed on 9 February, only two months before the end of World War II, Desert Sea is a reflection of both blissful and melancholy memories. Though Feininger managed to leave Germany, he worried about his friends who remained behind, and mourned the destruction of his adopted country. He realised that, even if he should return, his ‘beloved Baltic Sea’ would never be the same. The deep dark colours and almost violent black slashes of Desert Sea are in stark contrast to earlier brighter and more tranquil depictions of the motif.
