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, through a selection of over 90 photographs made at the Bauhaus and drawn from the Getty Museum's collection
Adapt the lesson "The Poetry of Architecture" and explore the exhibition with secondary students. Students will formally analyze Feininger's images of architecture and write related poetry.
Lesson Plan: The Poetry of Architecture
Exhibition: Lyonel Feininger: Photographs, 1928–1939 is on view at the Getty Center through March 11, 2012.
