The Whitney’s outstanding career retrospective of cartoonist, illustrator, and painter Lyonel Feininger ends today, so this is your last chance to see the fabulous progression of this adventurous artist who was born in New York and spent much of his formative time in Germany. The father of photographer Andreas Feininger, Lyonel experimented with many different forms and styles, including creating miniatures for family, throughout his long life. (He was born in 1871 and died in 1956.) There will be free tours of this wonderful exhibit today at 12:30 and 3:30. Also currently on view at the Whitney is “David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy,” “Real/Surreal,” “Three Landscapes: A Film Installation by Roy Lichtenstein,” “Singular Visions,” and “Designing the Whitney of the Future.”
