The Ruin by the Sea by Lyonel FeinengerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Lyonel Feininger (July 17, 1871 – January 13, 1956) was a German-American painter, and a leading exponent of Expressionism. This slim document details the history and reproduces the illustrations made by Lyonel of the one-and-a-half walls of a 14th Century Gothic Church in Deep, Pomerania (now Poland, I believe) that fascinated him. He revisited this harsh, remote vacation destination to capture the ruins in a style as much architectural as expressionistic from 1928 - 1935.
