Lyonel Feininger: Awareness, Recollection and Nostalgia

This catalogue for the exhibition Lyonel Feininger: Awareness, Recollection and Nostalgia focuses on Feininger's fabrication of a private world founded in a highly personal reconstruction of memory and experience. In particular, Feininger's early works represent the fantasies of a distant though unspecified German past and correspond to immigrant recollections of a lost, mythologized homeland. Throughout his career he communicated this worldview through a combination of popular ad fine art formats.
