When Rodin died in 1917, he had made spontaneity the rule instead of the exception in sculpture. A few of his followers, among them Aristide Maillol, Wilhelm Lehmbruck and Jacques Lipchitz, combined it as he had with a thorough knowledge of the body and the classical tradition. The greater number used it as a substitute for knowledge. Many of those in last week's show were like men who, having never learned to sing, just shout. There were others who seemed not to belong in the exhibition at all. The doughnut-soft abstractions of Jean Arp, the polished simplifications...
...distortions-and implied that both were good. A paleolithic fetish 77,000 years old and shaped like a bunch of grapes made Gaston Lachaise's blimpish Standing Woman (1932) look a comparatively svelte great-granddaughter. A Canaanite idol dated 1000 B.C. seemed a more attenuated ancestor of Wilhelm Lehmbruck's Standing Youth, done in 1913 (see cuts). The horse in Picasso's Guernica was no more or less weird than the deerhead mask beside it, made for a Central American Indian rite...
...exhibit of modern prints in Fogg Museum affords the opportunity of seeing lithographs and etchings by Pissarro, Manet, and Renoir, in addition to the infinitely finer and more interesting products of contemporaries such as Benton, Picasso, Matisse, Lehmbruck, and Rivera. It is interesting to find what these men have to say for themselves through the simple medium of the print, for none of them are generally thought of as lithographers or etchers. Their reputations are founded upon their ability to paint, and although the distance which separates a painting from a print is not great, it can not be denied...
...attempted to sell some choice examples of degeneracy on the international market. Up at auction in the big ballroom of the Hotel National in Lucerne, Switzerland, after having been displayed appetizingly for six weeks there and in Zurich, were 125 works by van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Modigliani, Lehmbruck, Barlach, Chagall, Hofer, Klee, Grosz and others...
Kolbe, like Lehmbruck, never uses the hammer and chisel. Like Lehmbruck, too, his art suggests a man conscious of a world governed by illogical forces. He seeks escape in dreams of gentle adolescence. Youths and maidens take dim shape as though seen from a distance, or through a haze...
