The American painter Lionel Feininger taught at the Bauhaus, the famous design school in Weimar. In this impression of Ober-Weimar, a village adjacent to the city of Weimar, he has reduced the church and surrounding houses to angular planes. The subdued colouring and rhythmic composition are inspired by the Cubism of Braque and Picasso.
