Gelmeroda XIII 1936

"Gelmeroda XIII," created in 1936 by Lyonel Feininger, is a prime example of his signature style, characterized by angular geometric forms and vibrant colors. This artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, presents a simplified cityscape with a prominent church spire dominating the composition. The dominant use of blues and greens creates a sense of depth and tranquility, further enhanced by the geometric abstraction of the architectural structures. This piece exemplifies Feininger's exploration of cubist principles, reflecting his interest in modern urban environments.
