Karl Hofer, winner of the second prize of the recent Carnegie International exhibition, and August Macke, one of the many talented young artists killed in the war, are far more objective in their approach. They have something of the cold Latin logic in their art and are more interested in the formal than in the emotional possibilities of paint and canvas.
