Easily the most valuable and varied exhibits are those of the U.S. and Britain. Both galleries blaze with force and inventiveness, their billowing forms and brilliant hues seeming to leap off the walls and assault the viewer.

The work reflects Hindemith's youthful expressionisms although its intricately polyphonic writing and its theme-the creator v. society-also presage such products of his maturity as the 1938 opera Mathis der Maler.
