The High Shore 1923

"The High Shore" (1923) by Lyonel Feininger is a striking example of his signature style, characterized by bold geometric forms and a sense of abstract expression. The painting depicts a seascape with a shoreline, mountains, and a body of water, all rendered in a simplified, almost cubist manner. Feininger's use of angular lines and flat planes, combined with his muted color palette, creates a sense of depth and distance, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay of light and shadow. This artwork showcases his artistic exploration of both realism and abstraction, typical of the early 20th century.
