Lyonel Feininger painted Benz, an Expressionist view of a small town in Germany, in 1924. Though a New Yorker by birth, he is strongly associated with the German avant-garde: he went to Hamburg in 1887, at the age of 16, and remained in Europe until the rise of the Nazis in the 1930s, becoming one of the ‘Blue Four’ with fellow painters Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Alexej von Jawlensky
