Description
Expertise The Lyonel Feininger Project LLC., Achim Moeller, New York (26.04.2011)
- with handmade craftman's frame and UV absorbing, non-reflective glass -
The beautiful "Feel of Morning" composition from 1952 demonstrates that Feininger had lost none of his creative energy in his late work. In the reduced colour palette of grey and blue, the artist presents a building silhouette in front of a both delicate and intense blue morning sky. With fine pen strokes, Feininger creates a row of buildings in the grey foreground, the closed nature of which is immediately suspended again by the lightness of the lines. These lines also continue in the zone of the sky. However, the attractiveness of the sheet is primarily enhanced by the nearly romantic mood of this balanced composition.

– mit handgearbeitetem Modellrahmen und spiegelfreiem, UV-absorbierendem Glas –
Die wunderschöne Komposition Feel of Morning aus dem Jahr 1952 zeigt, dass Feininger auch in seinem Spätwerk von seiner kreativen Energie nichts eingebüßt hat. In der reduzierten Farbpalette von Grau und Blau zeigt der Künstler eine Häusersilhouette vor einem gleichsam zarten wie auch intensiven blauen Morgenhimmel. Mit feinen Tuschfederstrichen erschafft Feininger im grautonigen Vordergrund eine Häuserzeile, deren Geschlossenheit durch die Leichtigkeit der Lineatur wieder unmittelbar aufgehoben wird. Diese Linien setzen sich auch in der Zone des Himmels fort. Gesteigert wird die Attraktivität des Blattes aber vor allem durch die nahezu romantische Stimmung dieser ausgewogenen Komposition.
