Minorías


Lyonel Feininger, Iglesia de las Minorías II, 1926, óleo sobre tela, 93 x 108 cm, Walker Art Center - Minneapolis 


I now think of Church of the Minorites II as his absolute masterpiece, but I never would have prior to seeing it up close. The sheer lack of definition of the green lamp on the right, for example, is nowhere near as noticeable. Likewise with the general use of light and shading. This painting is representative of the style probably most closely associated with him, the austere post-Bauhaus view of architecture mixed with sensuous colors.” (del blog http://www.waggish.org)
