Lyonel Feininger painted Village in Thuringia from memory in New York City, where he moved from the Thuringia area of Germany after fleeing the increasingly oppressive atmosphere of the Nazi regime in 1937. Arcueil I (to the right) was one of several paintings the artist was unable to take with him; it remained unknown and inaccessible in East Germany until the 1980s.
