Becoming a Bauhaus Artist

Bjorn Egging

The exhibition and the accompanying book examine the complete range and radical development of form of Feininger's woodcuts and evaluate them in the context of his complete oeuvre of paintings, watercolours, and drawings. The exhibition and book also address the extent to which Feininger's intensive discourse with the woodcut in his painting during the Bauhaus years may have provided the impetus for a further sense of calm, monumentalisation and transparency.
