...Thomas Bergen Collection of German Expressionist Drawings provides an opportunity to view Expressionism in the terms in which it progressively defined itself. Sixty-five drawings from Mr. Bergen's collection, selected by the Art Galleries of Notre Dame University, are presently on exhibit at Harvard University's Busch-Reisinger Museum and will subsequently travel to SUNY at Binghamton, Cornell University, and the University of Houston.

Dine's older paintings of robes in the '60s were done with acrylic and house paint; they had the "industrial" look common to a lot of Pop art - clean, flat, unresonant.
