1919, Lyonel Feininger, Umpferstedt III -- National Gallery of Ireland (Dublin)
From the museum label: Feininger worked in Germany for several decades before returning to the United States in 1937. This painting is one of three that he made depicting the village of Umpferstedt in the Weimar region. Its facetted forms and restrained dynamism reveal the artist's interest in Orphic Cubism. Feininger became head of the graphic workshop of the Bauhaus in 1919. His woodcut print Cathedral of Socialism (1919), designed as the first cover of the Bauhaus manifesto, is similar in composition to this post-war depiction of Umpferstedt.
