Lyonel Feininger: Photographs, 1928–1939
Through March 11, 2012
The Getty Center
Lyonel Feininger was one of the most important Modernist painters of the 20th century. But he was also a photographer—a side of his work that this exhibition, organized by the Harvard Art Museums, is the first to reveal. See Feininger's innovative and experimental work with the camera, along with a selection of over 90 photographs made at the Bauhaus and drawn from the Getty Museum's extensive collection.
