Sailboats with Moon (Segelboote mit Mond) 1919

"Sailboats with Moon (Segelboote mit Mond)" is a 1919 woodcut by Lyonel Feininger. This artwork showcases Feininger's signature style, characterized by angular lines and simplified forms. The composition features three sailboats, their hulls and masts depicted with bold black lines against a light background, creating a striking contrast. The moon, a crescent shape, dominates the upper right corner of the composition, adding a sense of nocturnal mystery to the scene. The minimalist approach to representation is typical of Feininger's work, reflecting the influence of German Expressionism.
