The artwork, entitled “Houses and Figures (Birds with Hats)” and created by the artist Lyonel Feininger, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) art movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
In the artwork, a collection of quaint, colorful houses is constructed, depicting an urban setting. Surrounding and atop these structures are whimsical figures, including birds adorned with top hats and human-like characters sporting similar headwear. The houses are painted in pastel tones with hints of green, orange, and beige, while the figures contrast brightly with reds, yellows, blacks, and whites. The arrangement of the pieces conveys a playful yet surreal scene, embodying Feininger’s distinct artistic vision.
