Lyonel Feininger: Picture 'The Grützturm in Treptow an der Rega' (1928), framed

Product information "Lyonel Feininger: Picture 'The Grützturm in Treptow an der Rega' (1928), framed"

During his stays at the Baltic Sea, Feininger also discovered the hinterland of the Rega estuary. The river framed the small town of Treptow in West Pomerania on three sides. The German-American painter constructed his picture from the medieval Grützturm tower, parts of the town wall and the neighbouring houses. But as present as the buildings may be, the blue of the river behind them and the bright sky penetrate the city motif. With his prismatic surfaces, Feininger visualises the intertwining of the different levels of perception. Original: oil on canvas, Hessisches Landesmuseum, Darmstadt. High-quality reproduction in a sophisticated solid wood frame with passe-partout, glazed. Size 82.7 x 71.2 cm (H/W).
Artist: Lyonel Feininger
