Marine 1918

Lyonel Feininger's "Marine" is a 1918 woodcut that depicts a ship or a maritime landscape with a simplified, geometric style characteristic of German Expressionism. The artwork is a vibrant composition of black lines and shapes on a yellow-orange background, creating a dynamic and almost abstract depiction of the scene. Feininger's use of strong, bold lines and geometric forms create a sense of movement and energy, emphasizing the power and force of the subject. He was known for using bold and dramatic color contrasts, which gives the artwork a dynamic and expressive feel.
