"St. Mary's Church with the Arrow" is a 1926 painting by German-American artist Lyonel Feininger. The painting, rendered in a Cubist style, depicts a simplified geometric abstraction of the titular church, focusing on the church's towers. The work's flat planes of color and angular shapes highlight Feininger's fascination with modern architecture, and it reflects the artist's interest in the intersection of the spiritual and the industrial. The bold colors and the clear lines contribute to the painting's visual impact.
