The composition weds intense, expressionist color with the flattened, fragmented planes of Cubism to create a dynamic, imaginary view of the village revolving around a church. Painted during World War I, and suggesting a village both destroyed and reconstructed, Feininger conveys the utopian desire of the German Expressionists to remake the world. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art XLVII, no. 67 (December 1960): 235. page number: Reproduced: p. 235 url: Lurie, Ann Tzeutschler.
