GERMANY ~ Market Church - Halle - Lyonel Feininger ~

.... Nice oil painting of the "Market Church in Halle" created in 1930 in Cubism style... Feininger chose the city as his preferred subject following his encounter with Cubism... churches and cathedrals offered him a particularly rich field of study... with nice special matching postmark👍 celebrating the 150th Birthday of the painter... Thans a lot Dustin!【ツ】

Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956)

Originally from New York, Lyonel Feininger spent a great deal of his career in Germany and is closely associated with the German Expressionist movement as well as the Bauhaus, where he was an active teacher and practitioner.

When the Bauhaus was dissolved by the Nazi party in the late 1930s, Feininger returned to his native New York, adding a series of skylines and seascapes to his already prolific body of work. 

The "Market Church of Our Dear Lady" is a church in the centre of the city of Halle. It was built between 1529 and 1554 and is the most recent of the city's medieval churches.
