From January 20 to May 13, 2012, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts will present the first retrospective in Canada devoted to Lyonel Feininger (1871‐1956). It is the first major retrospective of his work to be presented in North America in fifty years. Lyonel Feininger: From Manhattan to the Bauhaus will offer a comprehensive panorama of the oeuvre of this American painter who spent most of his life in Germany. There, he became one of the leading figures of German Expressionism and of the Bauhaus School, where he taught.

The exhibition will highlight the astonishingly modern approach of this multidisciplinary artist, who was equally interested in the fine arts and the applied arts. The presentation features over 150 works, including seventy‐three paintings, watercolours, prints, political cartoons, carved toys and, for the first time in a Feininger retrospective, photographs taken by the artist and by his two sons, Andreas and T. Lux Feininger. This exhibition is organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, in collaboration with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
