T. Lux Feininger und seine Bauhausfamilie

Theodore Lux Feininger (1910–2011), the youngest son of Julia and Lyonel Feininger, was a German
American photographer and painter. In 1926 he began making a record of his family in Dessau,
chronicling them with his camera and in texts he wrote.

This softback edition reveals the enthusiasm shown not only by the Bauhaus master Lyonel Feininger
but ultimately by all the Feiningers for fantastic and imaginary realities as well as for artistically
internalized notions of time and nature. It also clearly conveys the fact that the Feininger house—
which has hitherto been primarily known as the Bauhaus master’s home and studio—was where
the entire Feininger family lived and worked from 1926 to 1933, and that everyone in the family was,
without exception, artistically or creatively active, especially during the Dessau years.

Torsten Blume has been a research and artistic associate at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation
since 1994. Siegfried Schäfer is an art historian and publisher. Since 2014 he has been working
together with Cecilia Witteveen on creating a catalogue raisonné of T. Lux Feininger’s work. Katja
Schneider was deputy director of Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale) between 1992 and 1999
and director there from 2000 to 2013.
