Feininger's cityscapes

It's not that I don't like the countryside.  While everybody's got away to their cottages for the long weekend,  I'd rather stay in the city, where I really do belong.  German-American painter Lyonel Feininger also belonged to the city.  He was born and grew up in New York City and has lived and worked in Berlin for long periods of time.  This Bauhaus master's cityscape paintings capture light in the most distinctive cubist way.

Lefkowitz's improvised structures*

I saw David Lefkowitz's very unique drawings at Minneapolis' Weisman Art Museum last summer.  Lefkowitz rendered imaginary architectural structures on such everyday materials as corrugated cardboards and styrofoam.  Creativity does thrive out of the mundane.

*Improvised Structures is the title of Lefkowitz's show at DCKT Contemporary, New York 2004.
