...Recklinghausen, Germany, in a converted bomb shelter, 25 artists offered their experiments in stained glass for churches. Since more than 7,000 German churches were destroyed during World War II, these men may have plenty of commissions in the next decade. They favor abstract art, wedded to gothic glass techniques, and hope to woo churchmen away from the sweetly realistic style so long in fashion.

He has not enlarged the bounds of art but only formed an eclectic, intensely personal method of expressing himself. Rouault's paintings are as rich in color as Byzantine mosaics, but less clearly conceived, and as deep in human feeling as Rembrandt's illustrations of the Bible, but less fully developed. Yet the fact that such comparisons are possible...
