City with Church in the Sun (Stadt mit Kirche in der Sonne) 1918

Lyonel Feininger's 1918 woodcut, "City with Church in the Sun" (Stadt mit Kirche in der Sonne), showcases the artist's signature style of angular, geometric shapes, with a focus on architectural structures. The simplified forms and bold lines evoke a sense of urban modernity while also reflecting the artist's fascination with light and shadow. The image depicts a city with a prominent church, and a sun that appears to be setting behind it, adding a touch of drama to the scene. The figures at the bottom of the composition add a sense of scale and human presence within the urban landscape, highlighting the contrast between the built environment and its inhabitants.
