Description
Lyonel Feininger spent the summer months from 1908 to 1921 on the Baltic Sea in Usedom. He explored the island on numerous tours by bike and drew his so-called “nature notes” on site. This also includes this drawing from July 1912, which shows squat houses in the small village of Alt-Sallenthin on Usedom. Feininger then used the motif for the painting “Dorf Alt-Sallenthin” (Hess 89) the following year for the painting “Dorfstraße, Alt-Sallenthin” (Hess 97), which is now housed in the Folkwang Museum in Essen.
