During his time in France , the young artist Lyongrün was inspired by Art Nouveau . He created various templates for decorative arts and crafts, including "New free decorative motifs developed from the animal and plant kingdom" (1899), "New ideas for decorative art" (1901), styles and natural forms, modern models for ceiling and wall painting (together with A. Eiserwag). These works are part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and are still being published today.

In the specialist literature, Lyongrün is mainly classified as a landscape and marine painter . Various paintings with motifs from the high mountains, the Black Forest , the Lüneburg Heath , the Altes Land near Hamburg and the Baltic Sea have survived. But he also painted individual portraits and genre pictures .

His works were exhibited in Hamburg in 1911 in the Museum for Hamburg History and in 1919 in the Kunsthalle in Hamburg . Many of his works are in private collections in Hamburg, Düren, Remscheid, Springe and in the collection of the Duke of Saxony Altenburg.
