Ghosts of Engines

Theodore Lux Feininger was an American photographer and painter whose practice bridged abstraction and documentation in the postwar period. Son of the Bauhaus-affiliated painter Lyonel Feininger, he developed a distinctive approach to geometric composition and light that reflected his father's constructivist principles while engaging with mid-century modernism. Working across both photography and canvas, Feininger created formally rigorous compositions that treated architectural and natural subjects as arrangements of planes and shadow.
