This later work by Lyonel Feininger approaches almost full abstraction. It was executed in 1950 at a crucial moment in American art history. Abstract Expressionism and non-representational art were in full gear and taking the world by storm. Yet Feininger who was associated with the German expressionist groups: Die Brücke, the Blaue Reiter, the Bauhaus still roots this work in observable reality. It appears to be a complete and total abstraction with no recognizable elements. Yet the title "Connecticut Hills" gives insight into the artist's intention. br Exhibited at Moeller Fine Art, New York br Provenance: Moeller Fine Art, Art Basel Miami, 2006
