The subject of numerous retrospectives around the world, Lyonel Feininger, a key artist of the 20th century, is finally being exhibited in France, thanks to the generosity of a passionate collector. Through 139 works (paintings, watercolors, drawings, and engravings) spanning Feininger's entire career, from 1907 to 1949, this book comprehensively reflects the exhibition at the André Malraux Museum of Modern Art in Le Havre. It allows visitors to discover the graphic work of this virtuoso artist and the dazzling series of woodcuts executed mainly at the Bauhaus in just four years, between 1918 and 1922. This engaging and poetic work reveals a committed artist, grappling with the convictions and utopias of his time. They led him to participate in the founding of the Bauhaus, pursuing throughout his life a singular, eminently coherent work, which established a powerful artistic link between Europe and the United States.
