Lyonel Feininger Abstract Drawings and Watercolors
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

Three Pyramids + Blue Ball
By Alexander Calder
Located in Palm Desert, CA
"Three Pyramids + Blue Ball" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right, "Calder 73”.
Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor.
As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting.
Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...
