"In the 1940s Feininger started applying to his oils the compositional principles he had so far experimented with only in his drawings, translating into oil the clarity he had found in his work on paper in a process of simplification and reduction of both architecture and obects to linear schemes.  The turing point for the development of his late production had come in 1938, with Feininger's extnsive work for the mural for the Marine Transportation Building at the New York World's Fair which the artist saw as the summation of all his work up to that point."
