...exhibit of Expressionist prints now at the Fogg is ample evidence that this broadly worded statement did not force die Brucke's members into a single style. Gauguin's influence is very strong in Erich Heckel's woodcuts. Ludwig Kirchner, the leader of the group, learned about composition from Matisse (as Dodo Reclining shows). And one of Kirchner's later woodcuts, Dr. Bauer, demonstrates his debt to Picasso...
...which are in the present show, but he balked at Cubism. Schuhkin, however, absorbed it all, from the primitive and enchanted jungles of Henri Rousseau to the most difficult early cubist Picassos, from the bustling impressionist streetscapes of Pissarro to the dense, darkly resonant and sinister vision with which Gauguin, in Tahiti, could invest even a subject like Still-Life with Fruit...
Half a loaf is better than none. And a long loaf-say about three months' worth-is best of all. For the cynic who has always envied Paul Gauguin, the Kungsholm departs Jan. 12 for a 94-day voyage to the South Pacific, calling at such Conradic ports as the Marquesas, Moorea and Tahiti. Average fare: about $6,500. For those who prefer the fictional accomplishments of Phileas Fogg (after all, Gauguin died broke), the Gripsholm will allow passengers to go round the world in 86 days, with stops at India, Ceylon and Singapore...

...paintings, including some remarkable self-portrait studies, that anticipated the later Matisse in their schematization of form. But he remained stubbornly unaffiliated; even within the Symbolist group he was somewhat an outsider to the letter of their theory since, among other points of difference, he thought Gauguin's pictures "pedantic." Vuillard never allowed method to diminish sensation. "I do not belong to any school," he declared at 23. "I simply want to do something that is personal to myself." Six years later he described how "I never, in any context, think of my actions in terms of quality. Remember...
