Lyonel Feininger Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
American, 1871-1956
Lionel Feininger (1871–1956), a German-American painter, graphic artist, and caricaturist, developed a distinctive style influenced by Cubism and Expressionism. Born in New York City but raised in Germany, Feininger honed his skills at the Hamburg School of Arts and Crafts before studying under renowned artists in Berlin. Initially associated with the avant-garde group "Die Brücke" (The Bridge), Feininger's style evolved over time, gravitating towards Cubism after being inspired by artists like Picasso and Braque. His participation in the "Der Blaue Reiter" (The Blue Rider) exhibition in 1911 further solidified his reputation as an essential figure in the Expressionist movement. Returning to the United States during World War I, Feininger became associated with the American avant-garde, though the Nazis later targeted his works in the "Degenerate Art" exhibition. Feininger experimented with various mediums throughout his career, producing bold and vibrant works depicting urban landscapes and architectural motifs. His legacy as a pioneer of modern art continues to resonate, with his contributions to Cubism, Expressionism, and abstract art celebrated worldwide. Feininger passed away in 1956, leaving behind a rich and influential body of work.to

Louis Osman FRIBA Pavilion architectural design
By Louis Osman
Located in London, GB
Louis Osman was an English artist, architect, goldsmith, silversmith and medallist. He is notable for the gold coronet he designed and made for the investiture in 1969 of Charles, Prince of Wales. We have acquired a large archive of Osman's works form his daughter; to see the other Osman works available, please scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller."
Louis Osman (1914 - 1996)
A Pavilion in a Private Park
Pen, ink and wash
67 x 100 cm
Provenance: the family of the artist.
Signed lower right.
Osman was as much an artist as an architect. This is likely a portfolio piece from his time studying at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and is as such a piece of architectural history as well as a beautiful Osman design. Osman was awarded a First Class degree and the Donaldson Medal of the RIBA (for the best result in his year group) by the Bartlett, and then went on to the Slade School of Art. He subsequently trained with Sir Albert Richardson – we also have several Richardson works in our collection.
After the war, Osman busied himself as an architect. His work included contributions to Westminster Abbey, and Lincoln, Exeter, Ely, and Lichfield Cathedrals, Staunton Harold Church in Ashby de la Zouch for the National Trust, and of course his folly: the Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire, now a National Trust property.
At Canons Ashby he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1976 he made the gold enamelled coffin...
