Carnival in Arcueil 1911

"Carnival in Arcueil" (1911) by Lyonel Feininger is a vibrant depiction of a street scene in the town of Arcueil, France. Feininger's characteristic style, influenced by both Expressionism and Cubism, is evident in the simplified forms, bold colors, and geometric compositions. The scene features a brightly colored street lined with buildings, with figures in hats and coats strolling along the path. Feininger's use of angular lines and exaggerated forms lends a sense of energy and movement to the composition, capturing the lively atmosphere of a carnival. This work reflects Feininger's interest in the urban environment and his exploration of architectural themes.
