Lyonel Feininger Exhibition

 the Feininger exhibit here in Montreal - http://www.mmfa.qc.ca/media/feininger/index_new_en.sn
I know him from his cartoon work - the Kinder Kids and Wee Willie Winkie are awesome -  a major fine arts figure he was -

 Unfortunately, the security guards were exceptionally diligent that night - so I only managed a few furtive pictures before they pounced  - my apologizes for my lousy clandestine picture taking skills - this is the entrance - nice entrance

A blurred photo taken on the sly, below is a clearer shot -  Feininger carved these freaky wooden toys for his children, full of cartoony, art deco stuff - really interesting stuff-  best dad ever!

 They had about 10 big Sunday cartoon pages from the Chicago Tribune - beautiful stuff - no original pages unfortunately - but above is a sample of a few character designs from his strip work - originals in pen and ink and colored in crayon - nice stuff - they also featured quite a bit of work from his illustration period, mainly stuff from German humour magazines - great stuff -
