Information

Watercolour and pen and India ink on Ingres laid paper. 23,7 × 31,3 cm (9 ⅜ × 12 ⅜ in.). Signed, titled and dated at the bottom: Feininger Zeppelin über Neppermin Freitag d. 18. Jan. 1918. Inscribed lower left and monogrammed: X L.F.

Neppermin is a small fishing village on the island Usedom. Feininger occasionally fondly converted the name into Nevermind or Peppermint. The title in this case is a conscious play on words by the artist.

We would like to thank Dr. Ulrich Luckhardt, Ingelheim, for kindly providing additional information..
