Gelmeroda III 1913

"Gelmeroda III" is a 1913 oil painting by Lyonel Feininger, a pioneering figure in German Expressionism and the founder of the "Blue Four" artists' group. This artwork is a prime example of Feininger's unique style, which utilizes geometric shapes and bold lines to depict the stark, industrial landscapes of his time. The central focus is a towering, angular structure, likely a church or factory, against a backdrop of simplified, architectural forms and a hazy, atmospheric sky. This work captures the spirit of early 20th-century urban development, showcasing Feininger's talent for transforming reality into a stylized, abstract vision.
