...Germanic Museum, that rather grim looking building which periodically comes forth with some of the best art exhibits around town, is once more to be congratulated upon the quality and interest embodied in one of its presentations. Its current exhibit of Paul Klee's paintings deserves the special attention of anyone interested in the problems characteristic of contemporary Continental art.

There are many who believe that real art can be found only in museums and antiquated exhibit halls. Those who think rightly, however, realize that an example of true art can be found anywhere. An artist need not startle, thrill, or exhilarate a spectator. If an artist is genuine, and intellectually and technically competent, he deserves to be called a good painter. The Fine Arts Theatre shows taste and discernment in exhibiting here paintings upon its walls...
