==Major retrospectives==

A major retrospective exhibition of Lyonel Feininger's work was put on in 2011–2012: it opened initially at the [[Whitney Museum of American Art]], June 30 through October 16, 2011, subsequently at the [[Montreal Museum of Fine Arts]], January 1 through May 13, 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mbam.qc.ca/en/exhibitions/past/#toggle-id-63|publisher=The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts|location=Montreal, Quebec|title=Past Exhibitions|access-date=2019-02-05}}</ref> The exhibition is described as "the first in Feininger's native country in more than forty-five years, and the first ever to include the full breadth of his art" and as "accompanied by a richly illustrated monograph with a feature essay that provides a broad overview of Feininger's career..."<ref>{{cite web|title=Lyonel Feininger at the Edge of the World|publisher=Whitney Museum of American Art|date=October 6, 2011|url=http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/LyonelFeininger|access-date=2018-02-05}}</ref> Many critics have argued that the artist's work was at its most mature around 1910 in works in which the power of Feininger as illustrator balance his abstract side; however, we have to consider the possibility that Feininger used [[Cubism]] as a more artistically succinct tool to establish his version of the concept known as the objective correlative.
