Town Gate, Ribnitz (Das Tor, Ribnitz) 1918

Lyonel Feininger's 1918 woodcut "Town Gate, Ribnitz" features a bold and stylized depiction of a town gate, with geometric buildings and a prominent sun in a bright yellow background. The simplified forms and sharp lines are characteristic of Feininger's Expressionist style, which often explored themes of urban life and the interplay of light and shadow. This artwork exemplifies his signature style of merging geometric abstraction with architectural motifs, creating a unique visual language that captured the energy and dynamism of modern life.
