...Beckmann; he saw his dedication to art as a service to society and never figured that meant he had to be an outsider. As he reached his period of greatest influence in the late 1920s and early '30s, his self-portraits (of which he painted almost 200) tended to depict a man of the world, often wearing a tie, almost always holding a cigarette. The image befitted a man who had by then become such an artistic force that the National Gallery in Berlin dedicated an entire room to his work in 1932. The Nazis put a stop to that...
...audience's favor. Practically every panel in the book has something, often a word balloon, but sometimes an arm or a piece of clothing, poking out over the edge. While not difficult in itself, the technique points to Deitch's fundamental challenge to audiences: the act of transgression. The depiction of Waldo typifies Deitch's disturbing art. Though he looks much like Felix the Cat, with big round eyes and little white gloves, he also sports "cute" male genitalia. Superficially, Deitch's art looks very much like the cartoons of the 1930s - simple and happy with lots of movement...
...groups of artists that pioneered the movement. The first, based in Dresden, called itself Die Brücke (The Bridge). The paintings of Erich Heckel, Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner and Karl Schmidt-Rottluf look like a clash of Van Gogh meeting Nietzsche: fierce color contrasts are used to depict a passionate intensity.

Expressionism's second group, originally based in Munich, was made up of the Russian Wassily Kandinsky...
Feinberg, who spends hours on the phone talking to victims and their lawyers, has not sought counseling as a result of hearing horror story after horror story, and he is skeptical of any attempt to depict him as transformed by Sept. 11. "I honestly do not believe that I've been surprised by any of it," he says matter-of-factly. "I went through Agent Orange, which was pretty rough, and I anticipated on this assignment that it would be rough emotionally, and it has been. But I'm not surprised." What Feinberg will admit is that the experience...
...which also includes segments by Sean Penn and Ken Loach - as "an open dialogue. We have people from different cultures sharing the different implications they draw from the event." It is to be released in Paris on Sept. 11 and may well prove controversial, since some of the films depict stridently anti-American attitudes. Artists in the third category are those trying to influence future events. The Oxford Research Group, a British pacifist think tank, is to mount a series of performances around Sept. 11 at the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio. Music by Chloë Goodchild...
