  1. Deutschlands Verlust, Amerikas Gewinn.
    Feininger stammte aus einer sehr talentierten Familie. Obwohl er Architektur studierte, fand er seine Berufung in der Fotografie und studierte sogar bei Laszlo Moholy Nagy am Bauhaus in Dessau.
    Er war in vielerlei Hinsicht talentiert, wie die Skulptur zeigt.

    2. Looks like the artist took a little posing inspiration from both the classical “Dying Gaul” and “Discobolus” statues…
