Landungssteg 1920

"Landungssteg" (Landing Stage) is a 1920 painting by German-American artist Lyonel Feininger. The work is a vibrant example of Feininger's Expressionist style, characterized by bold geometric shapes and vivid colors. The scene depicts a pier with people and boats, all rendered in a simplified, almost abstract form. The dominant use of yellow and orange creates a sense of warmth and light, while the sharp angles and elongated forms suggest a dynamic and energetic movement. Feininger, known for his innovative use of line and perspective, successfully captures the essence of the modern world through his signature style.
