Merry Christmas Ghosties. Wohl Mitte 1950s.
Watercolor, India ink and goldbronze.
Typographically inscribed "Merry Christmas!" upper right. On thin paper. 7,4 x 9,6 cm (2,9 x 3,7 in), the full sheet. [KH].
PROVENANCE: Private collection USA (acquired directly from artist).
In his late figure watercolors, the so-called Ghosties, Feininger tied in with a world of forms that he had developed as illustrator and caricaturist. His early figures were dynamic, however, the later Ghosties seem rather fragile. They are friendly ghosts, created with a certain wit they occupy an important spot in the artist's later period of creation. [KD].
