The ability to constantly wheel and turn to confront a new visual puzzle was a challenge and a joy to Feininger. Throughout the 1920s he could produce memorable serial works on a theme, such as the church at Gelmeroda, or here, produce an interlocking cluster of houses and figures like a stage set, balancing both the visual contrasts and edgy energy of his woodcut technique.
